KEAP1 and goiter: These findings underscore novel gene-environment interactions between the activation status of the Keap1/Nrf2 antioxidant response system and the dietary iodide intake, which may have implications not only for the goiter phenotype of Keap1KD mice but also for humans harboring genetic variations in KEAP1 or NFE2L2 or treated with Nrf2-modulating drugs.
