Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding the human beta 1 T3 receptor (hTR beta 1) have been associated with generalized resistance to thyroid hormone (GRTH). We measured the T3-binding affinity and transcriptional regulatory capacity of the mutant hTR beta 1 from four unrelated kindreds with GRTH. These mutations are contained in different functional regions of the ligand-binding domain. The T3 affinity of the mutant...
