General information
Congenital hypothyroidism with goiter (CHG) causes developmental delay and a constelation of signs collectively known as cretinism. The disease is caused by a mutation in the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene. Inherited CHG is an autosomal recessive disorder. Thyroid peroxidase is a multi-functional enzyme required for thyroid hormone synthesis.
Clinical features
Clinical signs include delayed opening of the eyes and ear canals, poor nursing, inactivity, unresponsiveness to environmental stimuli, macroglossia and hypomyelination of the central nervous system.
