Introduction: Isolated congenital central hypothyroidism (CeCH) is a rare entity associated with mutations in IGSF1, TSHB, TRHR, or the coding region of TBL1X. We describe a female with CeCH and extrathyroidal features due to a partial X-chromosomal deletion involving TBL1X and other genes. Further studies showed markedly reduced TBL1X expression in patient-derived leukocytes and enabled linkage of particular clinical phenotypes to ...

Introduction: Thyroid hormones act via receptors encoded by different genes (THRA and THRB) generating receptor subtypes (TRα1, TRβ1, TRβ2) with differing, tissue-specific expression. Resistance to Thyroid Hormone due to THRB defects is well recognised, but no THRA mutations have yet been reported. We describe the first case of human TRα-mediated thyroid hormone resistance due to a dominant negative THRA mutation.Results: A 6-year-old...
