“…The c.1588A > T mutation in DUOX2 , which is responsible for thyroid dyshormonogenesis, was highly recurrent, with a prevalence of 1/40,000. The c.1588A > T mutation is population specific and has been reported mainly in Asian populations, including Chinese ( Fu et al, 2015 , 2016a ; Tan et al, 2016 ), Japanese ( Maruo et al, 2008 , 2016 ), and Malaysian ( Chow et al, 2017 ) populations. The c.4027C > T ( Chen et al, 2018 ), c.3329G > A ( Fu et al, 2015 ; Park et al, 2016 ), c.3632G > A ( Chai et al, 2015 ), c.2335G > A ( Jiang et al, 2016 ; Maruo et al, 2016 ), and c.2654G > A ( Zheng et al, 2016 ) mutations are also predominant in Asians, mostly in the Chinese Han population c.1883delA ( Maruo et al, 2008 , 2016 ; Park et al, 2016 ; Tan et al, 2016 ), c.3478_3480del ( Narumi et al, 2011 ; Fu et al, 2016a ; Park et al, 2016 ), and c.605_621del ( Jin et al, 2014 ; Matsuo et al, 2016 ; Tan et al, 2016 ) show a scattered distribution in Asian populations, including China, Japan, and South Korea.…”
