Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a rare disorder characterized by variable tissue hyporesponsiveness to thyroid hormone, usually caused by mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRbeta). We describe a large Brazilian family harboring a novel mutation affecting TRbeta gene and inducing RTH. A 14-year-old girl was found to have elevated free T4 and free T3 plasma concentrations in coexistence with...
