Since the first identification of DUOX2 as an actor in the pathogenesis of congenital hypothyroidism (CH), several mutations have been associated with transient or permanent CH, with a high intra- and interfamilial phenotypic variability. In the present study, we report clinical and molecular studies of 7 unrelated children and 2 couple of siblings affected with CH and partial iodide organification defect (PIOD).We identified nine novel and five previous...
