Thyroid hypogenesis is associated with a novel AKT3 germline variant that causes megalencephaly and cortical malformation

Abstract The molecular mechanisms involved in thyroid organogenesis have not been fully elucidated. We report a patient with a de novo germline AKT3 variant, NM_005465.7:c.233A > G, p.(Gln78Arg), who presented with congenital hypothyroidism in addition to typical AKT3-related brain disorders. The...

description Abstract The molecular mechanisms involved in thyroid organogenesis have not been fully elucidated. We report a patient with a de novo germline AKT3 variant, NM_005465.7:c.233A > G, p.(Gln78Arg), who presented with congenital hypothyroidism in addition to typical AKT3-related brain disorders. The report of this patient contributes to delineating the associated yet uncertain endocrine complications of this AKT3 disease-causing variant.
