Congenital Central Hypothyroidism Caused by a Novel Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone-Beta Subunit Gene Mutation in Two Siblings
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Congenital central hypothyroidism (CCH) is a very rare disease. Alterations in pituitary development genes as well as mutations of immunoglobulin superfamily member 1 and transducin β-like protein 1 can result in CCH and multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies. However, mutations of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor or thyroid-stimulating hormone-beta (TSHB) gene are responsible for isolated CCH. In this paper, we present the cases of two siblings with a novel mutation of TSHB. Direct sequencing of the coding regions and exon/intron boundaries of the TSHB gene revealed two homozygous nucleotides changes. One of them was c.40A>G (rs10776792) which is a very common variation that is also seen in healthy individuals, the other was c.94G>A at codon 32 of exon 2 which resulted in a change from glutamic acid to lysine (p.E32K). Both patients were homozygous and the parents were heterozygous.
