Abstract:
We report a point mutation in the TRbeta gene in korean patients with generalized resistance and pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone. One mutation at TRbeta (P453S) were detected in patient with pituitary resistance to thyroid, which showed different phenotype, generalized resistance to thyroid hormone, in her mothers. But, the other (C31Y), did not show clear relations with the disease. Therefore, further study of molecular and cellular basis will be warranted to explain the clear mechanism of the resistance to thyroid hormone.
