To read the full abstract: JCI Insight. 2018 Oct 18;3(20). pii: 99631.This paper describes a new form of goitrous congenital hypothyroidism associated with mutations in the solute carrier family 26 member 7 gene (SLC26A7) in 6 unrelated families. In patients, a partial iodide organification defect (PIOD) with normal iodide uptake was observed, hence these mutations cause a new f...
