Hypotonia, dystonia, developmental delay with severe weight loss and other symptoms of thyrotoxicosis? Could it be MCT8 deficiency? MCT8 deficiency, also known as Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, is a rare, X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the SLC16A2 gene that encodes the thyroid hormone transporter, monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8).

Enrollment is open for males aged 4 and up, with study sites enrolling in Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania.
