Objective: Thyroid hormones have essential role in regulation of cellular growth, development and metabolism. Although genetic variants seem to be an important determinant of thyroid hormone levels the data about involved genes are still limited. Therefore, in order to determine genetic variants underlying thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4) and free triiodothyronine (fT3) plasma level we performed a genome wide association study (GWAS) in Croatian subjects...
