Novel Inactivating Missense Mutations in the Thyrotropin Receptor Gene in Japanese Children with Resistance to Thyrotropin
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
We describe Japanese siblings with resistance to thyrotropin (TSH) who are compound heterozygotes for two novel mutations in the TSH receptor gene. The affected siblings had increased serum TSH, normal serum thyroid hormones, and normal positioned but slightly hypoplastic thyroid glands. The mutated paternal allele has the substitution of His (CAC) in place of Arg (CGC) at codon 450 (R450H) of the TSH receptor....
