Mutations of the PDS Gene, Encoding Pendrin, Are Associated with Protein Mislocalization and Loss of Iodide Efflux: Implications for Thyroid Dysfunction in Pendred Syndrome
2002-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Pendred syndrome (PDS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by deafness and goiter. Phenotypic heterogeneity is observed in affected individuals, and thyroid dysfunction is particularly variable. The syndrome is caused by mutations in the PDS (SLC26A4) gene, encoding an anion transporter pendrin, which localizes to the apical membrane of thyroid follicular cells. PDS is thought to enable efflux iodide...
