According to the central role of the TSH receptor for thyroid function and growth the gene for the TSH receptor is a possible candidate gene for mutations which result in an impairment of thyroid growth and function (Vassart and Dumont 1992). First evidence for the role of TSH receptor defects in the pathogenesis of congenital thyroid disorders was elucidated by the presence of activating germline mutations...
