Generation of H2O2 at the apical membrane of thyroid cells is essential for iodination of thyroglobulin. Dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) is the catalytic core of the thyroidal H2O2 generator, and its deficiency leads to congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in humans and mice. The Dual oxidase maturation factor 2 (DUOXA2) is a recently identified endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein required for expression of DUOX2 activity.<p class="abst...

Background: Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors (TART) in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) or 11-hydroxylase deficiency (11OHD) are benign lesions causing testicular damage and infertility. We hypothesize that high ACTH exposure due to poor hormonal control during early life is promoting development of TART later in life.Objective: This study aims to examine the relation between early CAH diagnosis and cons...
