Toxic multinodular goiter causes

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Sunny Kumar MD [2]

Overview

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

Causes

The causes of toxic multinodular goiter are as follows:^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

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

Frequency of mutation	TSHr gene codon	base substitution	amino acid change
Common	486	ATC/ATG	Ile/Met
Common	632	ACC/ATC	Thr/Ile
Less common	619	GAT/GGT	Asp/Gly
Less common	623	GCC/GTC	Ala/Val
Less common	629	TTG/TTT	Leu/Phe
Less common	630	ATC/CTC	Ile/Leu
Less common	633	GAC/GAG	Asp/Glu
Less common	639	CCA/TCA	Pro/Ser
