DOI: 10.1089/thy.2020.0696
Abstract: Background: Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) deficiency is an X-chromosome-linked neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from impaired thyroid hormone transport across the cell membrane. The diagnosis of MCT8 deficiency is typically delayed owing to the late appearance of… read more here.
