THERE has been considerable recent interest in the clinical and biochemical aspects of goitre due to enzyme defects in hormone synthesis, and comprehensive review articles are available (McGirr, 1960; Murray and McGirr, 1964; Stanbury, 1966; McGirr and Thomson, 1968). The biochemical abnormalities have not yet been related definitively to structural changes in the thyroid gland. Smith (1960) reported a series of 14 cases with defective organification of iodide and there are a number of brief reports on small groups or single cases of this and other defects. The present paper is an attempt to correlate the structural changes in the gland with the established defects, based on personal assessment of thyroidectomy specimens in 30 cases of goitre due to dyshormonogenesis and 3 cases of familial goitre in which the cause of the lesion is unknown. The defects in biosynthesis are: (1) Formation of an abnormal iodoprotein-16 cases; (2) defective deiodination of monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and diiodotyrosine (DIT) -8 cases; and (3) defective organification of iodine-6 cases. Clinical and biochemical details of the majority of the cases have been reported (Hutchison and McGirr, 1956; McGirr, Hutchison and Clement, 1959b; McGirr et al., 1960; Murray et al., 196% and b).
