Resumo
Hipotireoidismo congênito (HC) afeta cerca de 1:3000 a 1:4000 recém-nascidos (RN). Numerosos genes são essenciais, tanto para o desenvolvimento normal do eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-tireóide quanto para a produção hormonal, e estão associados ao HC. Cerca de 85% do hipotireoidismo primário é denominado disgenesia tireoidiana e evidências sugerem que mutações nos fatores de transcrição (TTF2, TTF1 e PAX-8) e no gene do receptor de TSH podem ser responsáveis pela doença. Os defeitos hereditários da síntese hormonal podem ser devidos a mutações nos genes NIS (natrium-iodide symporter), pendrina, tireoglobulina (TG), peroxidase (TPO). Mais recentemente, mutações no gene THOX-2 têm sido descritas para defeitos na organificacão. O hipotireoidismo central afeta cerca de 1:20.000 RN e tem sido associado com mutações nos fatores transcricionais hipofisários (POUIF1, PROP1, LHX3, HESX1). A síndrome de resistência periférica ao hormônio tireoidiano é uma doença rara que cursa com hipotireoidismo em alguns tecidos e, freqüentemente, está associada a mutações autossômicas dominantes no receptor beta (TRß).
Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) affects between 1:3,000 and 1:4,000 newborns. Many genes are essential for normal development of the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis and hormone production, and are associated with CH. About 85% of primary hypothyroidism is called thyroid digenesis and evidence suggests that mutations in transcription factors (TTF2, TTF1, and PAX-8) and TSH receptor gene could be responsible for the disease. Genetic defects of hormone synthesis could be caused by mutations in the following genes: NIS (natrium-iodide symporter), pendrine, thyreoglobulin (TG), peroxidase (TPO). Recently, mutations in the THOX-2 gene have also been related to organification defects. Central hypothyroidism affects about 1:20,000 newborns and has been associated with mutations in pituitary transcriptional factors (POUIF1, PROP1, LHX3, and HESX1). The syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormone is rare, implies a hypothyroidism state for some tissues and is frequently associated with dominant autosomal mutations in the beta-receptor (TRß).
