23 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes the most significant findings over the last year regarding human and animal models deficient in thyroid hormone cell-membrane transporters (THCMTs). Although several THCMTs have been modelled in genetically engineered mice, the only THCMT defect known in humans is that caused by mutations in the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) gene. RECENT FINDINGS: The importance of...
