In 3 Somalian siblings with severe nongoitrous congenital hypothyroidism, exome sequencing identified a variant in TSHR predicted to be benign in isoform 3 but leading to an intronic mutation in isoform 1 (NM_00369:c.692 + 130C>A), which is the isoform expressed in the thyroid. This mutation creates a pseudoexon that results in a protein that, if transcribed, would lack the transmembrane domain, thereby hampering its expression at the cell surface. Our findings illustrate that the interpretation of exome analysis requires knowledge of the relevant isoform expression and of the biology of the disease. This is the first description of a deep intronic mutation creating a pseudoexon and inactivating the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
