  Definition: Thyroid lesions in thyroid dyshormonogenesis in inborm errors of thyroid metabolism. Dyshormonogenetic goiters (DG) are genetically determined thyroid hyperplasias due to enzyme defects in thyroid-hormone synthesis.
  Dyshormonogenetic goiters (DG) are genetically determined thyroid hyperplasias due to enzyme defects in thyroid-hormone synthesis.
  Hypothyroidism is documented in 64% of cases.
  The thyroid gland is enlarged and multinodular in all cases, weighing up to 600g. (...)
