Abstract excerpt
Background: Mutations of thyroid hormone receptor α1 (TRα1) cause resistance to thyroid hormone (RTHα). Patients exhibit growth retardation, delayed bone development, anemia, and bradycardia. By using mouse models of RTHα, much has been learned about the molecular actions of TRα1 mutants that underlie these abnormalities in adults. Using zebrafish models of RTHα that we have recently created, we aimed to...
