These latter were performed by Sanger sequence or targeted next-generation sequencing technique including a panel of candidate genes involved in thyroid hormone actions and congenital hypothyroidism (CH): THRA, THRB, DIO1, DIO2, SLC16A2, SECISBP2, DUOX2, DUOXA2, FOXE1, GLIS3, IYD, JAG1, NKX2-1, NKX2-5, PAX8, SLC26A4, SLC5A5, TG, TPO, TSHR. This evidence concerns the gene SLC16A2 and cyclic hematopoiesis.
