The p.Cys1281Tyr variant in the hinge module/flap region of thyroglobulin causes intracellular transport disorder and congenital hypothyroidism.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) due to thyroglobulin (TG) variants causes very low serum TG levels with normal or enlarged thyroid glands, depending on the severity of the defect, and with autosomal recessive inheritance. The purpose of this study was to functionally characterize p.Cys1281Tyr variant in the TG gene in order to increase our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms associated with CH.

Curating the gnomAD database: Report of novel variants in the thyroid peroxidase gene using in silico bioinformatics algorithms and a literature review.

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein located at the apical side of the thyroid follicular cells that catalyzes both iodination and coupling of iodotyrosine residues within the thyroglobulin molecule, leading to the synthesis of thyroid hormone. Variants in TPO cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH) by iodide organification defect and are commonly inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. In the present work, we report a detailed population analysis and bioinformatic prediction of the TPO variants indexed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) v2.

Thyroglobulin (TG) is a large glycosylated protein of 2767 amino acids, secreted by the thyrocytes into the follicular lumen. It plays an essential role in the process of thyroid hormone synthesis. TG gene variants lead to permanent congenital hypothyroidism.

A novel mutation in intron 11 donor splice site, responsible of a rare genotype in thyroglobulin gene by altering the pre-mRNA splincing process. Cell expression and bioinformatic analysis.

Thyroglobulin (TG) is a homodimeric glycoprotein synthesized by the thyroid gland. To date, two hundred twenty-seven variations of the TG gene have been identified in humans. Thyroid dyshormonogenesis due to TG gene mutations have an estimated incidence of approximately 1 in 100,000 newborns.

p.L571P in the linker domain of rat thyroglobulin causes intracellular retention.

Thyroglobulin (TG), a large glycosylated protein secreted by thyrocytes into the thyroid follicular lumen, plays an essential role in thyroid hormone biosynthesis. Rattus norvegicus TG (rTG) is encoded by a large single copy gene, 186-kb long, located on chromosome 7 composed of 48 exons encoding a 8461-kb mRNA. Although the TG gene displays sequence variability, many missense mutations do not impose any adverse effect on the TG protein, whereas other nucleotide substitutions may affect its TG stability and/or TG intracellular trafficking.
