The First Activating TSH Receptor Mutation in Transmembrane Domain 1 Identified in a Family with Nonautoimmune Hyperthyroidism
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Sporadic and familial nonautoimmune hyperthyroidism are very rarely occurring diseases. Within the last years constitutively activating TSH receptor mutations were identified as one possible pathomechanism. Except for S281N in the extracellular N-terminal domain, all other germline mutations are located in the transmembrane domains 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 of the TSH receptor, whereas no mutation was reported in...
