A thyroid hormone receptor mutation that dissociates thyroid hormone regulation of gene expression in vivo

Abstract excerpt

Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is most often due to point mutations in the beta-isoform of the thyroid hormone (TH) receptor (TR-beta). The majority of mutations involve the ligand-binding domain, where they block TH binding and receptor function on both stimulatory and inhibitory TH response elements. In contrast, a few mutations in the ligand-binding domain are reported to maintain TH binding and yet cause...
