Mutations of the thyroglobulin gene and its relevance to thyroid disorders
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2009)
Purpose of review To perform an update review on thyroglobulin gene mutations associated with congenital hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, and autoimmunity. Recent findings Forty-two thyroglobulin mutations have been identified ...
Analysis of thyroglobulin gene polymorphisms in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis
(Springer, 2010-06)
The autoimmune thyroid disease is a complex disorder caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, which are believed to initiate the autoimmune response to thyroid antigens. Identification ...
Association of the TGrI29 microsatellite in thyroglobulin gene with autoimmune thyroiditis in a Argentinian population: a case–control study
(Humana Press, 2010-12)
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is a multifactorial disorder that involves a putative association with thyroid autoantigen-specific and immune regulatory genes, as well as environmental factors. The thyroglobulin gene ...
The role of thyroglobulin in thyroid hormonogenesis
(Springer, 2019-06)
In humans, the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 are synthesized in the thyroid gland in a process that crucially involves the iodoglycoprotein thyroglobulin. The overall structure of thyroglobulin is conserved in all vertebrates. ...
Genetics and phenomics of hypothyroidism and goiter due to thyroglobulin mutations
(Elsevier Ireland, 2010-06)
Thyroglobulin (TG) defects due to TG gene mutations have an estimated incidence of approximately 1 in 100,000 newborns. This dyshormonogenesis displays a wide phenotype variation and is characterized usually by: the presence ...
Genomic organization of the human thyroglobulin gene: The complete intron-exon structure
(BioScientifica, 2001-10)
Objective: In order to complete the knowledge of the genomic organization of the human thyroglobulin gene, the present work was designed to establish the intron-exon organization from exon 24 to exon 35 and to construct a ...
Molecular advances in thyroglobulin disorders
(Elsevier Science, 2006-12)
Synthesis of tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) follows a metabolic pathway that depends on the integrity of the thyroglobulin structure. This large glycoprotein is a homodimer of 660 kDa synthesized and secreted ...
Phenotypic variation among four family members with congenital hypothyroidism caused by two distinct thyroglobulin gene mutations
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2008-07)
Background: Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a large glycoprotein that is intimately involved in the biosynthesis of thyroxine and triiodothyronine. At least 38 mutations have been described in the Tg gene that are associated with ...
Genotyping and characterization of two polymorphic microsatellite markers located within introns 29 and 30 of the human thyroglobulin gene
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2002-09)
The purpose of the present work was to characterize two new polymorphic microsatellite markers in the thyroglobulin gene. TGrI29 and TGrI30 repeats are located within introns 29 and 30, respectively. Genetic studies were ...
