The p.G543R variant in the homozygous state has previously been associated with congenital hypothyroidism. The novel p.L562M variant was not reported in the Genome Aggregation Consortium dataset. In silico analysis of the pathogenic impact of the p.L562M variant yielded inconclusive results. Functional in vitro studies showed that the p.L562M variant reduces iodide accumulation due to defective expression of the mutant NIS protein at the plasma membrane. Notably, the aliphatic residue Leu at position 562 in the carboxy terminus of the protein, which is highly conserved in NIS orthologues, is required for NIS plasma membrane expression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We report novel compound heterozygous missense <jats:italic>SLC5A5<\/jats:italic> gene variants causing
