| Research Abstract |
One of the major causes of congenital thyroid dyshormonogenesis is thyroglobulin gene. Until recently mutations of Tg gene were believed rare. However, upon understanding of clinical characteristics, an increasing number of Tg mutations were identified. Adult patients present huge goiter with normal or subclinical hypothyroidism and frequently develop thyroid cancer. We studied gene expression profile of surgically removed patients' thyroid tissues and cultured cells expressing abnormal thyroglobulin in vitro. Several genes were identified which play a significant role in cell proliferation.
