Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A number of activating mutations of the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) have been found in autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs) in European patients. We aimed to study TSHR mutation in AFTNs in Japanese patients because no TSHR activating mutation has been found by previous incomplete studies. DESIGN: A typical AFTN developed in a 69-year-old Japanese woman was studied. METHODS: The entire exon...
