RESUMEN Hipotiroidismo congénito central: correlaciones clínico-genéticas e investigación de sus mecanismos moleculares Marta García González. 2017. Hipotiroidismo congénito central: correlaciones clínico-genéticas e investigación de sus mecanismos moleculares Resumen RESUMEN El Hipotiroidismo Congénito Central (HCC) es un grupo heterogéneo de patologías causadas por la disminución de la síntesis, secreción o bioactividad de la hormona tirotropa (TSH), que no consigue estimular correctamente una glándula tiroidea normal. Esta patología no es detectada en el cribado neonatal de hipotiroidismo congénito por TSH realizado en España y en la mayoría de países europeos. Por este motivo suele ser una entidad infra-diagnosticada. En el presente estudio se ha investigado fenotípica y genéticamente la cohorte de pacientes con HCC más amplia conocida hasta la actualidad. Esta serie de pacientes es única por contener una gran proporción de casos con HCC aislado (68%). En la discriminación etiológica de la enfermedad mediante test de TRH se han identificado 5 tipos de respuestas: dos de carácter hipofisario (P1 yP2), dos hipotalámicas (H1 y H2) y un tipo de respuesta normal. En un paciente con respuesta hipotalámica tipo H2 al test de TRH se identificó una hipoplasia hipofisaria e hipotalámica poniendo de manifiesto un origen mixto de la enfermedad. Además, se identificó un paciente con un fenotipo central clínicamente demostrado de hipotiroidismo e hipermetabolismo hipotalámicos con respuesta tipo H1 en el test de TRH. La base molecular del HCC es ampliamente desconocida. En el presente estudio se han identificado mutaciones en tres de los cuatros genes asociados a HCC en humanos: IGSF1, TRHR y TBL1X. Defectos en IGSF1 causaron hipotiroidismo congénito central y un fenotipo no descrito hasta la fecha de sobreestimulación del eje gonadotropo (FSH) durante la minipubertad neonatal, causante del macroorquidismo observado en este paciente, como se ha demostrado en ensayos funcionales in vitro. De este modo, se ha desvelado el mecanismo de actuación de IGSF1 en células tirotropas y gonadotropas: IGSF1 estimula la expresión de TRHR, e indirectamente de síntesis y bioactividad de TSH, por regulación negativa de la vía TGFβ-Smad; y reduce la expresión de FSHB por regulación negativa de la vía Activina-Smad. Además, se ha demostrado la expresión de IGSF1en tiroides pero su función en la glándula aún está por investigar. Se ha identificado un defecto leve en el TRHR en una familia de etnia gitana cuyos portadores heterocigotos muestran por primera vez un fenotipo de Hipertirotropinemia de origen central. También se han descrito nuevas características fenotípicas asociadas a defectos en TBL1X por mutaciones severas: trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad, macrocefalia y malformación de Arnold-Chiari I. Algunas de estas características fenotípicas también se han observado en pacientes con variantes en otros factores integrados en el complejo NCoR-SMRT del que TBL1X forma parte, como son NCOR1 y GPS2. Factores no asociados previamente con HCC en humanos, que abren una nueva línea de investigación para desentrañar su patogenia molecular en la enfermedad. Resumen Resumen ABSTRACT Central Congenital Hypothyroidism (CCH) is a heterogeneous group of pathologies caused by decreased synthesis, secretion or bioactivity of the thyrotropin hormone (TSH), which fails to properly stimulate a normal thyroid gland. This pathology is not detected in the TSH-based neonatal screening program for congenital hypothyroidism performed in Spain as in most European countries. For this reason, it is usually an under-diagnosed entity. In the present study, the cohort of patients with broader central congenital hypothyroidism (CCH) known to date has been genetically and phenotypically investigated. This series of patients is unique because it contains a large proportion of cases with isolated central hypothyroidism (68%). In the aetiological discrimination of the disease by TRH test, 5 types of responses have been identified: two pituitary (P1 and P2), two hypothalamic (H1 and H2) and one normal response type. In a patient with H2 hypothalamic response to the TRH test, pituitary and hypothalamic hypoplasia were identified, revealing a mixed origin of the disease. Moreover, we identified a patient with clinically demonstrated hypothalamic hypothyroidism and hypermetabolism and with hypothalamic H1 type response. The molecular basis of CCH is largely unknown. In the present study, mutations have been identified in three of the four genes associated with CCH in humans: IGSF1, TRHR and TBL1X. Defects in IGSF1 caused CCH and a non-described phenotype to date of over-stimulation of the gonadotropic axis (FSH) during neonatal minipuberty, causing macroorchidism observed in this patient, as demonstrated in functional in vitro assays. Thus, the mechanism of action of IGSF1 in thyrotrophic and gonadotropic cells has been unveiled: IGSF1 stimulates the expression of TRHR, and indirectly of TSH synthesis and bioactivity, by negative regulation of the TGFβ-Smad pathway, and reduces FSHB expression by down-regulation of the Activin-Smad pathway. In addition, the expression of IGSF1 has been demonstrated in the thyroid but its function in the gland has yet to be investigated. A mild defect in TRHR has been identified in family of Roma origin, whose heterozygous carriers show, for the first time, a phenotype of hyperthyrotropinemia. Novel phenotypic characteristics associated with defects in TBL1X have also been described caused by severe mutations: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, macrocephaly, and Arnold-Chiari type I malformation. Some of these phenotypic characteristics have also been observed in patients with variants in other integrated factors of the NCoR-SMRT complex such as NCOR1 and GPS2, of which TBL1X is part. These factors not previously associated with CCH in humans, open a new line of future research that will unravel its molecular implications in the disease. Resumen Marta García González. 2017.

  • Hypothyroidism Mauricio Alvarez Andrade and Oscar Rosero Olarte
    Chapter Hypothyroidism Mauricio Alvarez Andrade and Oscar Rosero Olarte Abstract Hypothyroidism is a condition that results from thyroid hormone deficiency that can range from an asymptomatic condition to a life-threatening disease. The prevalence of hypothyroidism varies according to the population, from up to 3 to 4% in some populations and in the case of subclinical hypothyroidism up to 5–10%. Clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism are diverse, broad, and non-specific and can be related to many systems, reflecting the systemic effects of thyroid hormones. The severity of the symptoms is usually related to the severity of the thyroid hor- mone deficit. The most common form of hypothyroidism, primary hypothyroid- ism, is diagnosed when there is elevation of TSH and decrease in the level of free T4 and Subclinical hypothyroidism is diagnosed when there is an elevation of TSH with normal levels of free T4. The most frequent cause of primary hypothyroid- ism in populations without iodine deficiency is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. Iodine deficiency is the main cause of hypothyroidism in populations with deficiency of iodine intake. The treatment of choice for hypothy- roidism is thyroxine (T4), which has shown efficacy in multiple studies to restore the euthyroid state and improve the symptoms of hypothyroidism. In subclinical hypothyroidism, the treatment depends on the age, functionality, and comorbidi- ties of the patients. The total replacement dose of levothyroxine in adults is approxi- mately 1.6 mcg/kg; however in elderly patients with heart disease or coronary heart disease, the starting dose should be from 0.3 to 0.4 mcg/kg/day with progressive increase of 10% of the dose monthly.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

INSERM U407, Centre Hospitalier Lyon-sud 69310 Pierre-Be´nite, France (Correspondence should be addressed to M Bertholon-Gre´goire) Abstract In a series of 12 patients (eight women and four men, aged between 20 and 62 years), operated on for a pituitary adenoma shown to be thyrotropic by immunocytochemistry, we performed a retrospective and comparative analysis of clinical and biological data, tumor studies including immunocyto- chemistry with double labeling, and proliferation marker (proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki-67) detection, electron microscopy and culture. Our study leads us to confirm that thyrotropic tumors are rare (12 of 1174 pituitary adenomas: 1%). The main points arising were that: (1) high or normal plasma TSH associated with an increase in plasma a-subunit and high thyroid hormone levels is the best criterion for diagnosis; (2) the failure of TSH to respond to TRH or Werner’s test is not a reliable criterion for diagnosis; (3) thyrotropic adenomas may be ‘silent’, without clinical signs of hyperthyroidism and with only slight increase in TSH, tri-iodothyronine and thyroxine concentrations; (4) mitoses and nuclear atypies are frequently detected in large tumors, which are invasive in more than 50% of cases – the first analysis of two proliferation markers (PCNA and Ki-67) bears out the relative aggressiveness of thyrotropic adenomas; (5) thyrotropic adenomas are frequently plurihor- monal.
