Introduction: Non-syndromic autosomal recessively inherited non-goitrous congenital hypothyroidism (CHNG) can be caused by mutations in TSHR, PAX8, TSHB, and NKX2-5. We aimed to investigate mutational frequencies of these genes and genotype/phenotype correlations in consanguineous families with CHNG.Design: Since consanguinity in individuals with a presumptive genetic condition is often an indicator of an autosomal recessive inherita...
