Pendred syndrome: evidence for genetic homogeneity and further refinement of linkage.
Pendred syndrome is the association between congenital sensorineural deafness and goitre. The disorder is characterised by the incomplete discharge of radioiodide from a primed thyroid following perchlorate challenge.

Concurrence of Pendred syndrome, autoimmune thyroiditis, and simple goiter in one family
Pendred syndrome is the autosomal recessively transmitted association of familial goiter and congenital deafness. There is no specific biochemical marker of this disease, and the diagnosis depends upon the demonstration of the triad of congenital ...

Ion transporters are the molecular basis for ion homeostasis of the cell and the whole organism. The anion exchanger pendrin is only one of a number of examples where a complete or partial loss of function and/or deregulation of expression of ion ...

Abstract The use of expanded carrier screening (ECS) to assess reproductive risk for autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked recessive (XLR) conditions has been increasingly integrated into obstetrical care. The aim of this study was to determine what proportion of pediatric patients seen by a medical genetics practice could have had their diagnosis ...

Genetic Hearing Loss Associated With Autoinflammation
Sensorineural hearing loss can result from dysfunction of the inner ear, auditory nerve, or auditory pathways in the central nervous system. Sensorineural hearing loss can be associated with age, exposure to ototoxic drugs or noise, or mutations in ...

Abstract The spectrum of thyroid disorders presenting to paediatricians is different to that seen by adult physicians. Referrals reflect cases detected by the neonatal screening programme for congenital hypothyroidism and many of the inherited defects of thyroid hormone generation or action will be manifest in early life. Autoimmune thyroid disease can

Pendred syndrome is caused by mutations in a putative sulphate transporter gene (PDS)
Pendred syndrome is a recessively inherited disorder with the hallmark features of congenital deafness and thyroid goitre. By some estimates, the disorder may account for upwards of 10% of hereditary deafness.

Putative phenotypic impact of FOXL2 variants. The different sub‐units of the preproprotein are indicated: the peptide signal (gray); the poly‐glycine region (green); the Forkhead region (yellow); the two conserved poly‐alanine regions (red) and the poly‐proline region (dark blue).
