Familial thyroid cancer originating from follicular cells accounts for 5–15% of all the thyroid carcinoma cases in humans. Previously, we described thyroid follicular cell carcinomas in a large number of the Dutch German longhaired pointers (GLPs) with a likely autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Here, we investigated the genetic causes of the disease using a combined approach of genome-wide association study and runs of homozygosity (ROH) analysis based on 170k SNP array genotype data and whole-genome sequences. A region 0–5 Mb on chromosome 17 was identified to be associated with the disease. Whole-genome sequencing revealed many mutations fitting the recessive inheritance pattern in this region including two deleterious mutations in the TPO gene, chr17:800788G>A (686F>V) and chr17:805276C>T (845T>M). These two SNP were subsequently genotyped in 186 GLPs (59 affected and 127 unaffected) and confirmed to be highly associated with the disease. The recessive genotypes had higher relative risks of 16.94 and 16.64 compared to homozygous genotypes for the reference alleles, respectively. This study provides novel insight into the genetic causes leading to the familial thyroid follicular cell carcinoma, and we were able to develop a genetic test to screen susceptible dogs.

AbstractThyroid carcinomas originating from follicular cells of the thyroid gland occur in both humans and dogs and they have highly similar histomorphologic patterns. In dogs, thyroid carcinomas have not been extensively investigated, especially concerning the familial origin of thyroid carcinomas. Here we report familial thyroid follicular cell carcinomas confirmed by histology in 54 Dutch origin German longhaired pointers. From the pedigree, 45 of 54 histopathologically confirmed cases are closely related to a pair of first-half cousins in the past, indicating a familial disease. In addition, genetics contributed more to the thyroid follicular cell carcinoma than other factors by an estimated heritability of 0.62 based on pedigree. The age of diagnosis ranged between 4.5 and 13.5 years, and 76% of cases were diagnosed before 10 years of age, implying an early onset of disease. We observed a significant higher pedigree-based inbreeding coefficient in the affected dogs (mean F 0.23) compared to unaffected dogs (mean F 0.14), suggesting the contribution of inbreeding to tumour development. The unique occurrence of familial thyroid follicular cell carcinoma in this dog population and the large number of affected dogs make this population an important model to identify the genetic basis of familial thyroid follicular cell carcinoma in this breed and may contribute to the research into pathogenesis, prevention and treatment in humans.

The European Society of Toxicologic Pathology organized an expert workshop in May 2018 to address adversity considerations related to thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia (FCHH), which is a common finding in nonclinical toxicity studies that can have important implications for risk assessment of pharmaceuticals, food additives, and environmental chemicals. The broad goal of the workshop was to facilitate better alignment in toxicologic pathology and regulatory sciences on how to determine adversity of FCHH. Key objectives were to describe common mechanisms leading to thyroid FCHH and potential functional consequences; provide working criteria to assess adversity of FCHH in context of associated findings; and describe additional methods and experimental data that may influence adversity determinations. The workshop panel was comprised of representatives from the European Union, Japan, and the United States. Participants shared case examples illustrating issues related to adversity assessments of thyroid changes. Provided here are summary discussions, key case presentations, and panel recommendations. This information should increase consistency in the interpretation of adverse changes in the thyroid based on pathology findings in nonclinical toxicity studies, help integrate new types of biomarker data into the review process, and facilitate a more systematic approach to communicating adversity determinations in toxicology reports.

Introduction. Different types of thyroiditis may share some parallel clinical and biochemical features. Timely intervention can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. Aim. Aim of this study is to find the frequency of various thyroiditis, study the cytomorphological features and correlate with clinical findings including radiological findings, thyroid function test, and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (Anti-TPO antibodies). Materials and Methods. The study included consecutive 110 cases of thyroiditis. Detailed cytomorphological features were studied and correlated with ultrasonography findings, thyroid function test, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) and histopathological features where thyroidectomy specimens were received for histopathological examination. Results. The majority were Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (n=100) and females (n=103). Other forms of thyroiditis were Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with colloid goiter (n=5), De Quervain’s thyroiditis (n=3), and one case each of postpartum thyroiditis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with associated malignancy. The majority of patients were in the age group of 21–40 (n=70) and the majority (n=73) had diffuse enlargement of thyroid. The majority of patients were hypothyroid (n=52). The serum anti-TPO antibodies were elevated in 47 patients out of 71 patients. In the 48 patients who underwent ultrasonography, 38 were diagnosed as having thyroiditis. The most consistent cytomorphological features seen in fine-needle aspiration smears of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis were increased background lymphocytes, lymphocytic infiltration of thyroid follicular cell clusters, and Hurthle cells. Conclusion. The diagnostic cytological features in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are increased background lymphocytes, lymphocytic infiltration of thyroid follicular cell clusters, and Hurthle cells. FNAC remains the “Gold Standard” for diagnosing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Clinical history, thyroid function, and biochemical parameters are the key for diagnosis of other forms of thyroiditis.
