Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the thyroid hormone receptor-β gene (THRB) cause resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH). A mouse model of RTH harboring a homozygous thyroid hormone receptor (TR)-β mutation known as PV (Thrb(PV/PV) mouse) spontaneously develops follicular thyroid cancer (FTC). Similar to RTH patients with mutations of two alleles of the THRB gene, the Thrb(PV/PV) mouse exhibits elevated thyroid hormones accompanied by...
