| Title: | Pendred syndrome in two Galician families: insights into clinical phenotypes through cellular, genetic, and molecular studies |
Authors: | Palos, Fernando CSIC; Obregón, María Jesús; Calvo, Rosa M. CSIC; Cameselle, José C.; Lado-Abeal, Joaquín | Issue Date: | Jan-2008 | Publisher: | Endocrine Society | Citation: | Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 93(1): 267-277 (2008) | Abstract: | [Context]: We studied two families from Galicia (northwest Spain) with Pendred syndrome (PS) and unusual thyroid phenotypes. In family A, the proposita had a large goiter and hypothyroxinemia but normal TSH and free T3 (FT3). In family B, some affected members showed deafness but not goiter. [Objective]: Our objective was to identify the mutations causing PS and molecular mechanisms underlying the thyroid phenotypes. [Interventions]: Interventions included extraction of DNA and of thyroid tissue. PATIENTS: Propositi and 10 members of the two families participated in the study. MAIN OUTCOME [Measures]: Main outcome measures included SLC26A4 gene analysis, deiodinase activities in thyroid tissue, and c.416-1G-->A effects on SLC26A4 splicing. In addition, a primary PS thyrocyte culture, T-PS2, was obtained from propositus B and compared with another culture of normal human thyrocytes, NT, by Western blotting, confocal microscopy, and iodine uptake kinetics. RESULTS: Proposita A was heterozygous for c.578C-->T and c.279delT, presented with goiter, and had normal TSH and FT3 but low FT4 attributable to high type 1 and type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase activities in the goiter. Propositus B bore c.279delT and a novel mutation c.416-1G-->A; some deaf relatives were homozygous for c.416-1G-->A but did not present goiter. The c.279delT mutation was associated with identical haplotype in the two families. T-PS2 showed truncated pendrin retained intracellularly and high iodine uptake with low efflux leading to iodine retention. [Conclusions]: c.279delT is a founder mutation in Galicia. Proposita A adapted to poor organification by increasing deiodinase activities in the goiter, avoiding hypothyroidism. Lack of goiter in subjects homozygous for c.416-1G-->A was due to incomplete penetrance allowing synthesis of some wild-type pendrin. Intracellular iodine retention, as seen in T-PS2, could play a role in thyroid alterations in PS. | Description: | 11 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables.-- et al. | Publisher version (URL): | http://dx.doi.org/10.1210/jc.2007-0539 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/25059 | DOI: | 10.1210/jc.2007-0539 | ISSN: | 0021-972X |
