Abstract excerpt
Iodide transport defect is a disorder affecting the active transport of iodide, an essential step in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. We have identified novel germ-line mutations in the Na+/I- symporter (NIS) gene from three Japanese patients with iodide transport defect. One patient had a compound heterozygous mutation of T354P/G93R (Gly93-->Arg [GGC-->CGC]), and two sibling patients had a homozygous mutation...
