Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to investigate the N-terminal part (the translated part of exon 1) of the human thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) for the presence of mutations. Patients with Graves' disease (n = 160) and healthy controls (blood donors; n = 140) were screened using single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) in combination with restriction enzyme digestion for the two previously known mutations...
