Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding the network of proteins involved in thyroid hormone signaling (TH) may have implications for the effectiveness of the treatment of hypothyroidism with LT4. It is conceivable that loss-of-function mutations or SNPs impair the ability of LT4 to be activated to T3, reach its targets, and ultimately resolve symptoms of...
