Pendred syndrome mnemonic

Hello!

What is pendrin?
An iodine transporter, pendrin, is located on the apical surface of thyroid cells which mediates iodine efflux into the lumen.

What is pendred syndrome?
Mutation of the pendrin gene causes Pendred syndrome, a disorder characterized by defective organification of iodine, goiter, and sensorineural deafness.

How do I remember this?

Penman!

  3. So penman is just a goiter with a head? If he has iodine deficiency, we should get rid of his eyes too.
