  • Title: Two novel mutations in the thyroid peroxidase gene with goitrous hypothyroidism.
    Author: Tajima T, Tsubaki J, Fujieda K.
    Journal: Endocr J; 2005 Oct; 52(5):643-5. PubMed ID: 16284446.
    Abstract:
    We encountered a Japanese patient with goitrous hypothyroidism due to iodide organification defect in the thyroid gland. Sequence analysis identified two novel mutations (E378K in exon 8 and a heterozygous 10 base deletion of the intron 15-exon 16 boundary) in the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene. As individuals with goitrous hypothyroidism caused by TPO gene mutation develop thyroid cancer, regular and careful follow-up for such patients must be done.
