Background: Previously, we identified a novel gene, BOREALIN/CDCA8 in congenital hypothyroidism. Patients with BOREALIN mutations had thyroid dysgenesis, from asymmetric lobes to athyreosis (Carré et al. Hum Mol Genet 2017). Borealin is a major component of the Chromosomal Passenger Complex, an essential regulator of mitosis. We demonstrated a new feature of BOREALIN: involvement in the adhesion and the migration of the thyrocytes.<...
