Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Mutations in TSH receptor (TSHR) are notoriously associated with congenital hypothyroidism as well as with non-autoimmune subclinical hypothyroidism, a mild form of TSH resistance that is not as well characterized by diagnostic procedures. OBJECTIVE: The genetic analysis of the TSHR gene was performed to determine the prevalence of TSHR gene mutations in non-autoimmune subclinical hypothyroidism during...
