Abstract excerpt
TSH resistance is one of the causes of congenital hypothyroidism with thyroid gland in situ. We recently identified families with dominant transmission of partial TSH resistance due to heterozygous inactivating mutations in TSH receptor (TSHR) gene. Although we documented a poor routing of TSHR mutants to the cell membrane, the mechanism responsible for dominant inheritance of partial TSH resistance remained...
