Transient Congenital Hypothyroidism Caused by Biallelic Mutations of the Dual Oxidase 2 Gene in Japanese Patients Detected by a Neonatal Screening Program

Abstract: All eight patients had biallelic mutations in the DUOX2 gene. We find that loss of DUOX2 activity results in transient congenital hypothyroidism and that transient congenital hypothyroidism caused by DUOX2 mutations is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

“…7 Este grupo de pacientes se presenta con glándula eutópica o, incluso, bocio neonatal. 4,5,8 Generalmente, la inactivación bialélica de los genes codificadores del NIS (sodium iodide symporter, transportador de iodo), de tiroperoxidasa o tiroglobulina son causa de HC permanente, pero se han descrito casos en los que se han encontrado defectos heterocigotas con el mismo fenotipo clínico. En ellos, se plantea la necesidad de completar el estudio molecular de los genes responsables de la síntesis tiroidea y no se descarta la posibilidad de afectación concomitante de genes distintos.…”

“…A vector encoding the p.Tyr138* mutation was created with the also evidenced by the facts that both biallelic DUOX2 mutations [4] and biallelic DUOXA2 mutations [5] cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in humans, while neither DUOX1 mutations nor DUOXA1 mutations have been identified so far. Nonetheless, DUOX1 (and possibly DUOXA1) could have a minor role in H 2 O 2 production in the thyroid, because CH in biallelic DUOX2 mutation carriers is often transient [6], and those mutation carriers produce thyroid hormones presumably via DUOX1 in the post-infantile period [7]. As for DUOXA2 mutation carriers, only four unrelated CH patients have been reported [5,[8][9][10], and thus the phenotypic spectrum remains to be established.…”
