Frequent TSH Receptor Genetic Alterations with Variable Signaling Impairment in a Large Series of Children with Nonautoimmune Isolated Hyperthyrotropinemia
3 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Heterozygous mutations in the TSH receptor gene (TSHR) are associated with partial TSH resistance, characterized by isolated nonautoimmune hyperthyrotropinemia (NAHT). The prevalence and management of this condition is controversial. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the prevalence and clinical impact of TSHR alterations in a large series of pediatric patients with NAHT and to dissect their...
