Abstract excerpt
A thyroglobulin (Tg) synthesis defect in Dutch goats causes congenital goiter and hypothyroidism. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive way and is linked to restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the Tg gene. Previous studies showed that Tg mRNA isolated from the goiters was of normal size (8.4 kilobases). Translation of high mol wt polysomal Tg mRNA isolated from goiter in a cell-free...
