Thyroglobulin Exon 10 Gene Point Mutation in a Patient with Endemic Goiter

Abstract excerpt

Iodine deficiency is the most relevant etiologic factor in endemic goiter. However, the fact that not all residents in the same area eventually develop goiter suggests that individual factors might also be involved in the etiology of endemic goiter. We have previously reported a point mutation in thyroglobulin exon 10 associated with nonendemic simple goiter. In an attempt to determine whether the mutation in...
