    A novel mutation in the TG gene (G2322S) causing congenital hypothyroidism in a Sudanese family: a case report

    Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has an incidence of approximately 1:3000, but only 15% have mutations in the thyroid hormone synthesis pathways. Genetic analysis allows for the precise diagnosis.

    A novel splice variant involving the 5’ untranslated region of thyroid hormone receptor β1 (TRβ1)

    The thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) gene generates two different proteins by use of a different promoter (β1 and β2). We now report a novel short TRβ1 RNA splice variant in humans lacking 35 nucleotides at th...
