To read the full abstract: Nat Commun. 2020;11:1343.Li et al. describe a new genetic mechanism causing Pendred syndrome and extend evidence for an oligogenic origin of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Autosomal recessive mutations in Pendrin (PDS/SCL26A4 ) were described in 1997 to cause Pendred syndrome [1]. However, over the years patients with either only heterozygous or even no mutation in PDS/SLC26A4 have been diag...

Brief Summary: The management of phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas in patients with pathogenic variants of succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B ( SDHD ) gene is complex. An international group of experts performed a critical review of the evidence to produce this consensus statement to assist clinical decision-making.Comment: Pathogenic variants in succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B ( SDHD ) gene ...
