Preferred Label : Hypothyroidism, congenital, nongoitrous, 2;
Symbol : CHNG2;
CISMeF acronym : CHNG2; RTSH;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Thyroid hypoplasia; Thyroid, ectopic; Athyreotic hypothyroidism; RTSH; Hypothyroidism, athyreotic; Thyroid dysgenesis; Thyroid agenesis; Hypothyroidism, congenital, due to thyroid dysgenesis; Thyrotropin resistance; Resistance to thyrotropin;
Description : In 80 to 85% of cases, congenital hypothyroidism is associated with, and presumably
is a consequence of, thyroid dysgenesis (Macchia et al., 1998). In these cases, the
thyroid gland can be absent (agenesis), ectopically located, and/or severely reduced
in size (hypoplasia). When thyroid hormone therapy is not initiated within the first
2 months of life, congenital hypothyroidism can cause severe neurologic, mental, and
motor damage (cretinism).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the paired box homeotic gene 8 (PAX8, 167415.0002);
