Twelve candidate genes that follow an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern in congenital hypothyroidism (SLC5A5, TPO, TG, IYD, DUOXA2, DUOX2, TSHR, SLC26A7, GLIS3, FOXE1, TSHB, TRHR) in the gnomAD database (v2.1.1) were analyzed. The carrier frequency (CF) and predicted genetic prevalence (pGP) were estimated. The total CF in the overall population was 3.6%. DUOX2 showed the highest CF (1.8%), followed by TG (0.46%), TPO (0.44%), TSHR (0.31%), SLC26A7 (0.144%), DUOXA2 (0.141%), IYD (0.08%), SLC5A5 (0.06%), TRHR (0.059%), GLIS3 (0.059%), TSHB (0.04%), and FOXE1 (0%). The pGP in the overall population was 10.01 individuals per 100,000 births (1:9992). The highest pGP was in the East Asian population at 52.48 per 100,000 births (1:1905), followed by Finnish (35.96), Non-Finnish European (9.56), African\/African American (4.0), Latino\/Admixed American (3.89), South Asian (3.56), and Ashkenazi Jewish (1.81) groups. Comparing the pGP with the real incidence of congenital hypothyroidism, the pGP in East Asian populations was highly consistent with the real incidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes12060863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,6]],"date-time":"2021-06-06T23:59:55Z","timestamp":1623023995000},"page":"863","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Analysis of Worldwide Carrier Frequency and Predicted Genetic Prevalence of Autosomal Recessive Congenital Hypothyroidism Based on a General Population Database"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6714-6619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyung-Sun","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Kyung Hee University School of Medicine and Kyung Hee University Medical Center, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"333","article-title":"Genetic screening: A primer for primary care","volume":"56","author":"Andermann","year":"2010","journal-title":"Can.
