Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thyroid hormone (TH) action takes place intracellularly; therefore, transport across the plasma membrane by specific TH transporters, such as MCT8, MCT10 and OATP1C1, is necessary. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes were reported to be associated with TH concentrations; however, results have been inconsistent. METHODS: Six SNPs in TH transporter genes (rs5937843-G/T and...
