Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in the human ALB gene. CASE PRESENTATION: We report, a three-year-old boy with FDH due to p.R242P (or p.R218P without signal peptide) mutation in the ALB gene with a phenotype characterized by extremely high serum total and free thyroxine concentrations. His parents had...
