title: [Molecular genetics of thyroid diseases].
abstract: Molecular cloning of the genes implicated in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and in the control of thyroid growth and function has led to the identification of mutations responsible for hereditary thyroid diseases (congenital hypo- and hyperthyroidism) and for hyperfunctional thyroid adenomas.
