A Novel Mutation in the Thyrotropin (TSH) Receptor Gene Causing Loss of TSH Binding But Constitutive Receptor Activation in a Family with Resistance to TSH<sup>1</sup>
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to TSH is a syndrome due to reduced responsiveness of the thyroid gland to biologically active TSH. Inactivating mutations of the TSH receptor (TSH-R) have been detected in several cases of resistance to TSH, both partial and complete, sporadic and familial. In this study, we describe a family with the presence of resistance to TSH responsible for euthyroid hyperthyrotropinemia in two siblings from...
