In this study we describe a novel mutation of the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene that resulted in a total iodide organification defect. TPO activity and thyroxine formation in thyroglobulin in the thyroid gland of the patient were below the limits of detection. However, TPO mRNA was detectable at a similar size and concentration as compared with normal thyroid tissues when measured by Northern blot analysis. Sequence analysis of the TPO gene showed the presence of two mutations, a missense mutation in exon 7 and C insertion in exon 14. These mutations were heterozygous and located in different alleles. The latter mutation has already been reported as one of the mutations of the TPO gene resulting in total iodide organification defect. The former mutation was further analysed by mRNA transfection studies in which mutated mRNA was transfected to CHO-K1 cells by electroporation. The results of transfection studies showed that the cells transfected with mutated mRNA expressed similar size TPO molecules to those of cells transfected with wild-type mRNA but that they lacked TPO activity. The two mutations of the TPO gene resulting in the total iodide organification defect in the patient cosegregated from her parents.

Objective: Defects in the human thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene are reported to be one of the causes of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) due to a total iodide organification defect. The aim of the present study was to determine the nature and frequency of TPO gene mutations in patients with CH, characterised by elevated TSH levels and orthotopic thyroid gland, identified in the Portuguese National Neonatal Screening Programme. Subjects and methods: The sample comprised 55 patients, from 53 unrelated families, with follow-up in the endocrinology clinics of the treatment centres of Porto and Lisbon. Mutation screening in the TPO gene (exons 1–17) was performed by single-strand conformational analysis followed by sequencing of fragments with abnormal migration patterns. Results: Eight different mutations were detected in 13 patients (seven homozygotes and six compound heterozygotes). Novel mutations included three missense mutations, namely 391T > C (S131P), 1274A > G (N425S) and 2512T > A (C838S), as well as the predictable splice mutation 2748G > A (Q916Q/spl?). The undocumented polymorphism 180-47A > C was also detected. Conclusion: The results are in accordance with previous observations confirming the genetic heterogeneity of TPO defects. The proportion of patients in which the aetiology was determined justifies the implementation of this molecular testing in our CH patients with dyshormonogenesis.
