Trial summary

Thyroid diseases are pathologies that frequently affect pregnant women causing serious complications. This current research aims to find out whether the expression of TSHβX1 splice variant and D2 Thr92Ala polymorphism in the DIO2 gene are associated with thyroid disease in Mexican pregnant women.

About this study

Official title: TSHβX1 Splice Variant Expression and D2 Thr92Ala Polymorphism Analysis in Pregnant Women With Thyroid Diseases

Thyroid diseases are pathologies that frequently affect pregnant women causing serious complications. This current research aims to find out whether the expression of TSHβX1 splice variant and D2 Thr92Ala polymorphism in the DIO2 gene are associated with thyroid disease in Mexican pregnant women.

Read the detailed description

Deiodinase 2 (DIO2) is a selenoenzyme responsible for the deiodination of T4 to T3, which makes it crucial for the proper functioning of thyroid hormones. Polymorphisms of DIO2 alters the enzymatic function. In addition, the Ala92Ala genotype was reported to be related with a reduction in the placental activity of D2, which could worsen gestational complications.

In the other hand, the TSHβ gene (NC_000001.11) located on chromosome 1 at position 38p12, codes for the beta unit of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). It is admitted that genetic variants can show a different spectrum of actions.

This was a clinical, comparative, prospective and transversal study. Pregnant women aged 18-44 years old, were invited to identify it they had a DIO2 polymorphism or the TSHβX1 splice variant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy Related and Hypothyroidism, run by Materno-Perinatal Hospital of the State of Mexico at 1 site in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TSHβX1 splice variant expression. (time frame: Baseline.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03612908, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Aug 2018.
