Abstract excerpt
The resistance to thyrotropin (TSH) action is the disease associated with molecular defects hampering the adequate transmission of TSH stimulatory signal into thyroid cells. The defect may in principle affect every step along the cascade of events following the binding of TSH to its receptor (TSHR) on thyroid cell membranes. After the description of the first family affected with loss-of-function (LOF) TSHR...
