Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are ligand-dependent transcription factors that mediate the biological activities of thyroid hormone (T3). Two THR genes (A and B), located on different chromosomes, yield four T3-binding isoforms with highly conserved sequences in the DNA- and ligand-binding domains. Mutations of THRB cause a human genetic disease, thyroid hormone resistance syndrome (RTH). Comprehensive genomic...
