Abstract
Thyroid dysgenesis (TD) is the common pathogenic mechanism of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). In addition, known pathogenic genes are limited to those that are directly involved in thyroid development. To identify additional candidate pathogenetic genes, we performed forward genetic screening for TD in zebrafish, followed by positional cloning. The candidate gene was confirmed in vitro using the Nthy-ori 3.1 cell line and in vivo using a zebrafish model organism. We obtained a novel zebrafish line with thyroid dysgenesis and identified the candidate pathogenetic mutation TATA-box binding protein associated Factor 1 (taf1) by positional cloning. Further molecular studies revealed that taf1 was needed for the proliferation of thyroid follicular cells by binding to the NOTCH1 promoter region. Knockdown of TAF1 impaired the proliferation and maturation of thyroid cells, thereby leading to thyroid dysplasia. This study showed that TAF1 promoted Notch signaling and that this association played a pivotal role in thyroid development.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In our study, we obtained a novel zebrafish line with thyroid dysgenesis (TD) and identified the candidate pathogenetic mutation TATA-box binding protein associated Factor 1 (taf1).

Abstract
Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal metabolic disorder. In patients with CH in China, thyroid dyshormonogenesis is more common than thyroid dysgenesis; however, the genetic causes of CH due to thyroid dyshormonogenesis remain largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed at identifying novel candidate causative genes for CH. Methods: To identify novel CH candidate genes, a total of 599 patients with CH were enrolled and next-generation sequencing was performed. The functions of the identified variants were confirmed using HEK293T and FTC-133 cell lines in vitro and in a mouse model organism in vivo. Results: Three pathogenic contactin 6 (CNTN6) variants were identified in two patients with CH. Pedigree analysis showed that CH caused by CNTN6 variants was inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The CNTN6 gene was highly expressed in the thyroid in humans and mice. Cntn6 knockout mice presented with thyroid dyshormonogenesis and CH due to the decreased expression of crucial genes for thyroid hormone biosynthesis (Slc5a5, Tpo, and Duox2). All three CNTN6 variants resulted in the blocking of the release of the Notch intracellular domain, which could not translocate into the nucleus, impaired NOTCH1 transcriptional activity, and decreased expression of SLC5A5, TPO, and DUOX2. Further, we found that DTX1 was required for CNTN6 to promote thyroid hormone biosynthesis through Notch signaling. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that CNTN6 is a novel causative gene for CH through the mediation of thyroid hormone biosynthesis via Notch signaling, which provides new insights into the genetic background and mechanisms involved in CH and thyroid dyshormonogenesis.

Abstract
Congenital iodide transport defect is an uncommon autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss-of-function variants in the sodium iodide symporter (NIS)-coding SLC5A5 gene and leading to dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism. Here, we conducted a targeted next-generation sequencing assessment of congenital hypothyroidism-causative genes in a cohort of nine unrelated pediatric patients suspected of having a congenital iodide transport defect based on the absence of 99mTc-pertechnetate accumulation in a eutopic thyroid gland. Although, unexpectedly, we could not detect pathogenic SLC5A5 gene variants, we identified two novel compound heterozygous TG gene variants (p.Q29* and c.177-2A>C), three novel heterozygous TG gene variants (p.F1542Vfs*20, p.Y2563C, and p.S523P), and a novel heterozygous DUOX2 gene variant (p.E1496Dfs*51). Splicing minigene reporter-based in vitro assays revealed that the variant c.177-2A>C affected normal TG pre-mRNA splicing, leading to the frameshift variant p.T59Sfs*17. The frameshift TG variants p.T59Sfs*17 and p.F1542Vfs*20, but not the DUOX2 variant p.E1496Dfs*51, were predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Moreover, functional in vitro expression assays revealed that the variant p.Y2563C reduced the secretion of the TG protein. Our investigation revealed unexpected findings regarding the genetics of congenital iodide transport defects, supporting the existence of yet to be discovered mechanisms involved in thyroid hormonogenesis.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone (TH) contributes to multiple cellular mechanisms in the liver, muscle cells, adipose tissue, and brain, etc. In particular, the liver is an important organ in TH metabolism for the conversion of thyronine (T4) into triiodothyronine (T3) by the deiodinase enzyme. TH levels were significantly decreased and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were significantly increased in patients with liver failure compared with normal subjects. Among liver failure diseases, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) deserves more attention because liver damage and neuropathologies occur simultaneously. Although there is numerous evidence of TH dysregulation in the HE model, specific mechanisms and genetic features of the thyroid glands in the HE model are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the significantly different genes in the thyroid glands of a bile duct ligation (BDL) mouse model as the HE model, compared to the thyroid glands of the control mouse using RNA sequencing. We also confirmed the alteration in mRNA levels of thyroid gland function-related genes in the BDL mouse model. Furthermore, we evaluated the increased level of free T4 and TSH in the BDL mouse blood. Thus, we emphasize the potential roles of TH in liver metabolism and suggest that thyroid dysfunction-related genes in the HE model should be highlighted for finding the appropriate solution for an impaired thyroid system in HE.

Silent but Not Harmless: A Synonymous SLC5A5 Gene Variant Leading to Dyshormonogenic Congenital Hypothyroidism. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:868891.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital iodide transport defect (ITD) is an uncommon cause of dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism characterized by the absence of active iodide accumulation in the thyroid gland. ITD is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss-of-function variants in the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS)-coding SLC5A5 gene. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify, and if so to functionally characterize, novel ITD-causing SLC5A5 gene variants in a cohort of five unrelated pediatric patients diagnosed with dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism with minimal to absent 99mTc-pertechnetate accumulation in the thyroid gland. METHODS The coding region of the SLC5A5 gene was sequenced using Sanger sequencing. In silico analysis and functional in vitro characterization of a novel synonymous variant were performed. RESULTS Sanger sequencing revealed a novel homozygous synonymous SLC5A5 gene variant (c.1326A>C in exon 11). In silico analysis revealed that the c.1326A>C variant is potentially deleterious for NIS pre-mRNA splicing. The c.1326A>C variant was predicted to lie within a putative exonic splicing enhancer reducing the binding of splicing regulatory trans-acting protein SRSF5. Splicing minigene reporter assay revealed that c.1326A>C causes exon 11 or exon 11 and 12 skipping during NIS pre-mRNA splicing leading to the NIS pathogenic variants p.G415_P443del and p.G415Lfs*32, respectively. Significantly, the frameshift variant p.G415Lfs*32 is predicted to be subjected to degradation by nonsense-mediated decay. CONCLUSIONS We identified the first exonic synonymous SLC5A5 gene variant causing aberrant NIS pre-mRNA splicing, thus expanding the mutational landscape of the SLC5A5 gene leading to dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism.
