Genotyping of resistance to thyroid hormone in South American population. Identification of seven novel missense mutations in the human thyroid hormone receptor beta gene.

Abstract excerpt

Thyroid Hormone Receptor beta (THRB) defects, typically transmitted as autosomal dominant traits, cause Resistance to Thyroid Hormone (RTH). We analyzed the THRB gene in thirteen South American patients with clinical evidence RTH from eleven unrelated families. Sequence analysis revealed seven novel missense mutations. Four novel mutations were identified in exon 9. The first, a c.991A>G transition which...
