Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Search for germline mutations in the thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) gene of two unrelated Portuguese females of Caucasian origin in whom the diagnosis of TBG deficiency was suspected because of suppressed TSH despite marginally low total thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine. DESIGN AND METHODS: Screening for germline mutations was conducted by non-radioactive PCR-SSCP analysis. The variants documented by...
