Abstract excerpt
Two distinct genotypes that result in the amino acid substitutions R218P and R218H in subdomain 2A of human serum albumin (HSA) have been identified as the cause of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH). These substitutions increase the affinity of subdomain 2A for thyroxine by approximately 10-fold elevating plasma thyroxine levels in affected individuals. While many studies have examined the binding...
