Identification of Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4B as a Novel Candidate Gene for Congenital Hypothyroidism

CONCLUSION: These experimental data supported a role for EIF4B function in the pathogenesis of the hypothyroid phenotype seen in CH patients. Our work indicated that EIF4B was identified as a novel candidate gene in CH. EIF4B is essential for animal survival, but further studies are needed to validate its role in the pathogenesis of CH.PMID:38654471 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae270
