Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene (TRbeta) cause resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH). Genetic analyses indicate that phenotypic manifestation of RTH is due to the dominant negative action of mutant TRbeta. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the dominant negative action of mutants and how the same mutation results in marked variability of resistance in different tissues in vivo are not...
