Nongoitrous congenital hypothyroidism-3 (CHNG3) is characterized by infantile-onset clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism associated with a small thyroid gland, high circulating TSH, normal free T4 levels, and normal or mildly increased serum thyroglobulin. Untreated patients or patients who discontinue treatment show a characteristic transition to multinodular goiter (MNG) with age¹.

Prevalence

Details

Deletion of one repeat (4 to 3 repeats) found in 10 unrelated families with unsolved disease³; a heterozygous T-to-G transversion in the third repeat can also lead to disease².

Mechanism

GoF

Activates a thyroid-specific enhancer^2,3.
