Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To establish the role of new TSH receptor (TSHr) variants (P27T, E34 K, R46P, D403N, W488R and M527T) recently identified in children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) or subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) with a thyroid gland of normal size. DESIGN AND MEASUREMENTS: TSHr variants were obtained by mutagenesis. Wild-type (wt) and TSHr mutants were expressed in COS cells and cAMP assay, (125)I-TSH...
