Toxic multinodular goiter causes

Introduction

Overview

Overview

The progression to Toxic multinodular goiter usually involves the somatic gain-of-function mutations in the TSH receptor gene.

Causes

Causes

The causes of toxic multinodular goiter are as follows:[1][2][3]_The_Journal_of_Clinical_Endocrinology_&_Metabolism_|_Oxford_Academic-4|[4]

Genetic Causes

  • The development of multi-nodular goiter is the result of multiple genetic base substitution mutations on exon 10 of chromosome 14q31.
