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...

To read the full abstract: Nat Comm 2019; 10(1): 1718Steroid receptor coactivator (SRC)-1 mediates nuclear hormone receptors and transcription factor-dependent transcription (1), and interacts with STAT3 (2) an important mediator of leptin-induced POMC expression and hence satiety (3). Src-1 knockout mice are obese (4), however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In a...
