3.3. Glis3 as a critical regulator of thyroid primordium specification

G Rurale , F Marelli , P Duminuco , L Persani

To read the full abstract: Thyroid. 2020;30:277–289.GLIS3 gene mutations are associated with a syndrome that combines neonatal diabetes and congenital hypothyroidism due to thyroid dysgenesis [1]. Glis3 knockout mouse models showed functional deficits of thyroid hormone synthesis but were not able to shed light on the role of Glis3 during thyroid organogenesis resulting in thyroid dysgenesis. Rurale et al.</em...

To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2019;104:5765–5779.It is not clear whether retesting is needed for a healthy cotwin of a twin pair discordant for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) at the first neonatal screening. Medda et al. retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 47 twin pairs discordant for CH at the first neonatal screening. On follow-up, 7 (15%) of cotwins who were initially negatively screened then tested positi...

Brief summary: Using a combination of expression studies in human embryos as well as functional studies in zebrafish and genetic sequencing of patient with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, this study identified a novel role for Jag1/Notch signaling in the development of GnRH neurons.GnRH neurons have a unique characteristic as they start life in the olfactory placode and then migrate into the hypothalamus during embryonic development, thanks to ...

Brief summary: This longitudinal observational multicentre retrospective study, collected data on 95 young prepubertal or early pubertal girls (age >10.9 years, Tanner stage ≤2) with premature ovarian failure (POI) or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). Their hypogonadism was due to different causes and was treated with transdermal 17β-oestradiol, with a follow-up of at least 1 year. The study aimed to identify the most physiological and effective therapeutic sc...
