Deiodinase 2 (DIO2) plays an important role in thyroid hormone metabolism and its regulation. However, molecular mechanism that regulates DIO2 activity remains unclear; only mutaions in selenocysteine insertion sequence binding protein 2 and selenocysteine tranfer RNA (tRNA) are reported to result in decreased DIO2 activity. Two patients with clinical evidence of abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism were identified and found to have TSHR mutations as well as DIO2 T92A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Primary-cultured fibroblasts from one patient present a high level of basal DIO2 enzymatic activity, possibly due to compensation by augmented DIO2 expression. However, this high enzymatic active state yet fails to respond to accelerating TSH. Consequently, TSHR mutations along with DIO2 T92A SNP ("double hit") may lead to a significant reduction in DIO2 activity stimulated by TSH, and thereby may have clinical relevance in a select population of hypothyroidism patients who might benefit from a T3/T4 combination therapy.

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.

Context: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a challenging condition owing to relentless orbital tissue remodeling, with thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) in orbital fibroblasts (OFs) serving as a promising therapeutic target.
Objective: This study seeks to discover potential TSHR inhibitors among US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs and evaluate their effects on TED-OFs.
Methods: Adipose tissues were sourced from the patients with or without TED.

Background: Germline DICER1 mutations cause familial multinodular goiter (MNG). However, the prevalence of somatic DICER1 mutations in non-MNG benign thyroid nodules and their characteristics remain unknown.
Methods: Adult-onset thyroid nodules with a pathological diagnosis were genotyped via targeted sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and aimed to analyze the clinical and genetic factors associated with it, specifically targeting genetic variants linked to thyroid tissue formation and hormone secretion.
- A total of 61 Turkish patients from 45 families participated, with a variant detection rate of 37.7%; the most common mutations were found in the TPO gene, followed by TSHR, DUOX2, TG, and NKX2-1 genes.
- The research identified rare new gene variations related to CH, suggesting that the current guidelines for genetic analysis are effective, and highlighting the potential prevalence of TSHR mutations in thyroid dysgenesis cases.
