Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Resistance to thyroid hormone due to THRA mutations (RTHα) is a recently discovered genetic disease, displaying important variability in its clinical presentation. The mutations alter the function of TRα1, one of the two nuclear receptors for thyroid hormone. METHODS: The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between specific THRA mutations and phenotype. CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing was...
