Bamforth-Lazarus syndrome is congenital hypothyroidism associated with choanal atresia, bifid epiglottis, and abnormal hair. It has been suggested that mutations in FOXE1 are associated with Bamforth-Lazarus syndrome. FOXE1 is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family and functions as a thyroid transcription factor which likely plays a crucial role in thyroid morphogenesis.
