Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thyroid hormones regulate multiple physiological functions, including metabolism, reproduction, and metamorphosis. Although there are variations in thyroid hormone signaling between populations and species, the causative mutations underlying these variations have rarely been identified. Here, we investigated whether information regarding the causative genes and mutations responsible for human thyroid...
