Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome

Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome is a genetic condition that results in thyroid dysgenesis.^[1][2] It is due to recessive mutations in forkhead/winged-helix domain transcription factor (FKLH15 or TTF2).^[3] It is associated with FOXE1.^[4]

Other names	Athyroidal hypothyroidism-spiky hair-cleft palate syndrome
