Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal endocrine disorder, with an incidence of 1:3000 neonates, and one of the most frequent preventable causes of mental retardation worldwide. Most (65%) cases of primary permanent CH are due to thyroid dysgenesis (TD). However, a genetic cause is identified in less than 5% of CH due to DT.Methods: We performed WES (Whole Exome Sequencing) for siblings with childhood-onset TD and we analy...

Enrichment of Inherited Rare Variants in Non-Syndromic Congenital Hypothyroidism from Thyroid Dysgenesis Identified By Exome Sequencing: the Contribution of IKBKE to Vasculogenesis and Thyroid Development

Congenital hypothyroidism from thyroid dysgenesis (CHTD) is mainly a sporadic and non-syndromic condition occurring in 1:4,500 live births. In contrast to rare cases of syndromic monogenic CHTD, non-syndromic (NS) CHTD shows low familial recurrence risk (~2%) and low concordance rate between MZ twins, suggesting a two-hit scenario combining post-zygotic events with either a de novo monogenic mutation or incomplete penetrance of polygenic inherited variants,. As this l...

Computational Analysis of the Ligand Binding Domain of the Thyroid Hormone Receptor for the Rational Design of an Efficient Protein-Based Biosensor for the Detection of Thyroid Hormone Disrupting Chemicals

Verma Sonia , Pandey Amit V

Background: Thyroid hormone disrupting chemicals (THDCs) which are present in the environment, food and everyday consumer products, interfere with thyroid hormone signaling, possibly by interacting with thyroid hormone receptors (THRs). This alters the thyroid hormone homeostasis and affects various functions regulated by the thyroid hormone e.g. macronutrient metabolism, cardiovascular function, and normal brain development. Therefore, there is a necessity for detection and m...

Thyroid Hormone Analog Therapy in Patients with MCT8 deficiency: the Triac Trial

Introduction: Mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter MCT8 result in MCT8 deficiency, which is characterized by severe intellectual and motor disability and high serum T3 concentrations inducing thyrotoxicity in peripheral tissues. At present, no effective treatment is available, although preclinical studies suggest that the T3 analog Triac is a promising candidate to i) normalize serum T3 levels and thus alleviate the thyrotoxicosis and ii) restore TH signaling in t...

Guidelines for the Management of Paediatric Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma; a UK Endeavour

Howard Sasha , Newbold Kate , Freeston Sarah , Natu Sonali , Pomplun Sabine , Izatt Louise , Gaze Mark , Barney Harrison , Spoudeas Helen , Wilne Sophie

Objectives: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has shown increasing incidence in children and young people <19 years (CYP), and CYP present with more extensive disease than in adults and are at risk of long-term morbidity. A paucity of randomised controlled trials in the field has led to a lack of consensus on how these children should best be managed. These Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group and British Society for Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes commission...

Background: Hashimoto Thyroiditis (HT) and Graves Disease (GD) are conditions known to be caused by abnormal immune response against self-tissues. The biological processes at molecular lever are still poorly understood. A few epigenetic studies have been published so far.Objective: To investigate whether there are differences in DNA methylation within the HLADRB1, CD40L, FOXP3, CTLA4, FCRL3, IL2RA and PTPN22 promoters between young patients with autoimmu...
