In the cohort of patients with thyroid dysgenesis, we observed a second case with a homozygous missense mutation (p.Gln413Arg) in the SLC26A4 gene, who was additionally affected by severe hearing problems. Both mutations were previously described as loss-of-function mutations in patients with Pendred syndrome and nonsyndromic enlarged vestibular aqueduct.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We unexpectedly identified SLC26A4 mutations that were hitherto diagnosed in thyroid dyshormonogenesis patients, now for the first time in patients with structural thyroid defects. This result resembles the historic description of thyroid atrophy in patients with the so-called myxedematous form of cretinism after severe iodine deficiency. Most likely the thyroid defect of the two homozygous SLC26A4 gene mutation carriers represents a kind of secondary thyroid atrophy, rather than a primary defect of thyroid development in the sense of thyroid agenesis. Our study extends the variable clinical spectrum of patients with SLC26A4 mutations and points out the necessity to analyze the SLC26A4 gene in patients with apparent thyroid dysgenesis in addition to the known candidate genes TSHR, PAX8, NKX2.1, NKX2.5, and FOXE1.<\/jats:p>\n
