1 Positive association of the DIO2 (deiodinase type 2) gene with mental retardation in the iodine-deficient areas of China. Iodine iodothyronine deiodinase 2 Homo sapiens
2 Positive association of the DIO2 (deiodinase type 2) gene with mental retardation in the iodine-deficient areas of China. Iodine iodothyronine deiodinase 2 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: We conclude that allelic variation in the DIO2 gene may affect the amount of T3 available and in an iodine-deficient environment may partly determine overall risk of MR. Iodine iodothyronine deiodinase 2 Homo sapiens
