Introduction: Less than 20% of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has a known genetic aetiology; thyroid transcription factor mutations (PAX8, Nkx2.1, Nkx2.5, FOXE1) or biallelic TSHR mutations cause <5% of thyroid dysgenesis (TD), whereas mutations in genes mediating thyroid hormone biosynthesis (TPO, TG, DUOX2, DUOXA2, IYD, SLC5A5, SLC26A4) account for most dyshormonogenesis cases. Increased CH frequency in consanguineous populations, relatives of ...
