Thyroid dysgenesis caused by PAX8 mutation: the hypermutability with CpG dinucleotides at codon 31.

We identified a novel mutation (CGC to T GC) at codon 31 of the Paired box 8 gene, an important transcription factor in the development of the thyroid gland. Mutations at this codon have been independently reported in 2 cases (CGC to CA C). These transitions are considered typical CpG-consequence mutations and account for hypermutability at this position.[1]
