Abstract excerpt
Generalized resistance to thyroid hormone (GRTH) is a syndrome of hyposensitivity to triiodothyronine (T3) that displays autosomal dominant inheritance. The genetic defect commonly lies in the ligand-binding domain of one of the TR beta alleles. Since there are two major thyroid hormone receptor (TR) isoforms, TR alpha and TR beta, it is not known how the mutant receptor mediates a dominant negative effect....
