Abstract excerpt
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a rare genetic disorder, usually associated with different mutations in the c-erbAB gene that encodes the beta type receptor of thyroid hormone (TRB). It is characterized by elevated serum thyroid hormone and inappropriate TSH secretion. The numerous mutations so far detected are clustered in three hot spot areas in the ligand binding domain of TRB. In the context of a...
