Extending the Clinical Heterogeneity of Iodide Transport Defect (ITD): A Novel Mutation R124H of the Sodium/Iodide Symporter Gene and Review of Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in ITD

Abstract

We identified a new NIS mutation, R124H, in a newborn with the complete clinical ITD phenotype. Genotype-phenotype correlations suggest that age at hypothyroidism onset may be genotype specific and may depend on genotype-specific residual NIS activity.
