Abstract excerpt
A germline mutation of the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) gene has been reported to be associated with thyrotoxicosis and mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS) in a Chinese family. The role of TSHR genetic variants in MVPS has not been well studied. This study investigated the possible relationship between the polymorphisms of codon 727 and 52 of the TSHR gene and MVPS among the Chinese population in...
