| Description: |
AbstractDefects in genes mediating thyroid hormone biosynthesis result in dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Here, we report homozygous truncating mutations in SLC26A7 in 6 unrelated families with goitrous CH and show that goitrous hypothyroidism also occurs in Slc26a7-null mice. In both species, the gene is expressed predominantly in the thyroid gland, and loss of function is associated with impaired availability of iodine for thyroid hormone synthesis, partially corrected in mice by iodine supplementation.SLC26A7 is a member of the same transporter family as SLC26A4 (pendrin), an anion exchanger with affinity for iodide and chloride (among others), whose gene mutations cause congenital deafness and dyshormonogenic goiter. However, in contrast to pendrin, SLC26A7 does not mediate cellular iodide efflux and hearing in affected individuals is normal. We delineate a hitherto unrecognized role for SLC26A7 in thyroid hormone biosynthesis, for which the mechanism remains unclear. see all

This study made use of data generated by the UK10K Project with funding from the Wellcome Trust, UK (WT091310) and we acknowledge the contribution of the UK10K Consortium. A full list of the UK10K investigators who contributed to the generation of the data is available from www.UK10K.org. This work was also supported by Wellcome Trust grants 100585/Z/12/Z (to NS) and 095564/Z/11/Z (to VKC), and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Cambridge Biomedical Research Center (to VKC and NS). EGS and CAA are supported by the Wellcome Trust (098051) and EM holds an NIHR Senior Investigator Award. The University of Cambridge has received salary support with respect to EM from the NHS in the East of England through the Clinical Academic Reserve. Most studies carried out in Slc26a7-null mice were supported by a grant from the NIH (R37DK15070 to SR), as were XHL, PS, and HI. HC was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) with grant no. 116S389.
We acknowledge the Genomics/Transcriptomics, Imaging, Histology and Disease Model Core Facilities in the Wellcome Trust-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science. The Histology Facility is supported by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) Metabolic Disease Unit grant (MRC_MC_UU_12012/5) and the Imaging Facility by a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award (100574/Z/12/Z); the Genomics/Transcriptomics and Disease Model Core Facilities are supported by both of these awards. Families A and B were investigated in the NIHR Wellcome Clinical Research Facility, Birmingham, and we acknowledge their expert support. We also acknowledge Lorraine Everett for her contribution to generating the FLAG-Slc26a7 mouse model at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, which was supported by the Wellcome Trust (grant 098051), and Fiona Gribble and Frank Reimann at the Wellcome Trust-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science for expert advice.
