any help would be appreciated!
 
Thyroid transcription factor 1 (NKX2-1/TITF1) mutations cause brain-lung-thyroid syndrome, characterized by congenital hypothyroidism (CH), infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) and benign hereditary chorea (BHC).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Per chapter 14 :congenital anamolies (a) guideline:
when a congenital anomal does NOT have a "unique code" assignment, assign "additional code(s)" for any manifestation(s) that may be present.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syndrome/autosomal /deletion--758.39

Deletion of thyroid transcription factor-1 gene -758.39+
congenital hypothyroidism (CH) 243
infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) 769
benign hereditary chorea (BHC) 333.4

I'd assign the following--758.39 + 243+ 769+ 333.4

NOTE: Need to verify the age of pt to assign ICD -769--- or assign indicated REPIRATORY MANIFESTATION.

The information provided in the query post is insufficient to give correct ICDs' as "manifestations/Pt age" are NOT mentioned.

Thanks
