Thyroid transription factor-1 (TTF-1) is a homeodomain-containing nuclear transcription factor, important in regulation of the thyroid-specific genes thyroglobulin (Tg), thyroperoxidase (TPO), and thyrotropin receptor (TSHR). TTF-1 is an early biochemical marker of thyroid differentiation, essential for thyroid development and maintenance of the thyroid differentiated state. It is possible that mutations in titf1...
