Gozzo con Ipotiroidismo dovuto a Difetto Familiare di Desiodazione delle Iodotirosine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Summary
The Authors describe the case of juvenile hypothyroidism with goiter caused by a congenital defect in the synthesis of the thyroid hormones. The picture of thyroid uptake curve, cromatographic separation of thyroid hormones in serum and of thyroid gland tissue, and the PBI concentration, suggest to include the case among the iodothyrosine dehalogenase defects. Such a defect, though very attenuate, has been found in the patient's mother too. From a genetic point of view, Authors suggest to consider both cases heterozygous expression of the defect; though in the daugther this defect is more accentuate.
