Resistance to thyrotropin (TSH) (RTSH; defined by elevated TSH and a normal or hypoplastic thyroid gland) can be caused by mutations in genes encoding the TSH receptor and PAX8, and it has been linked to a locus on chromosome 15. In two nonconsanguineous families with nongoitrous euthyroid hyperthyrotropinemia, typical of the RTSH phenotype, exome analysis identified five rare DUOX2 gene variants (p.A649E, p.P1391A, p.R885L, p.G488R, and p.SF965-6SfsX29) found to be pathogenic. This form of nongoitrous dyshormonogenesis masquerades both clinically and biochemically as RTSH. Accordingly, mutations in DUOX2 should be added to those of SLC26A4 as causes of RTSH.

Introduction: In Crohn's disease (CD), lesions are mainly distributed in a segmental manner, with the primary sites of involvement being the ileum and colon. Heterogeneity in colon and ileum results in location-specific clinical presentations and therapeutic responses. Mucosal healing tends to be more readily and quickly achieved in the colon than in the ileum, where lesions are more likely to develop into complex behaviors.

Newborn congenital hypothyroidism (CH) screening has been widely used worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of applying biochemical and gene panel sequencing as screening tests for CH and to analyze the mutation spectrum of CH in China. Newborns were prospectively recruited from eight hospitals in China between February and December 2021.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a common neonatal endocrine disorder that is characterized by irreversible neurodevelopmental and growth retardation due to insufficient biosynthesis of thyroid hormones at birth. Determining the causative genetic variants in infants is important for neonatal management. It was aimed to evaluate the variant frequencies and spectrum of CH in the neonatal population of Foshan, China.

Lactylation is an emerging pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying mechanisms and biological significance remain poorly understood. The Carbonic anhydrase III (CA3) gene, previously defined as a binding protein of SQLE and involved in the NAFLD disease, has now been identified as a novel tumor suppressor in HCC.

: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a common metabolic disorder in children that can impact growth and neurodevelopment, particularly during infancy and early childhood. DUOXA2, a DUOX maturation factor, plays a crucial role in the maturation and activation of dual oxidase DUOX2 (a member of the NADPH oxidase family). DUOX2 can correctly migrate to the plasma membrane from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with the help of DUOXA2, and the two proteins together form a stable complex that promotes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation in the synthesis of thyroid hormones.
