Objectives: In 2011, we described the first case of Resistance to Thyroid Hormone due to a mutation in thyroid hormone receptor a (RTHα) in a six year old child with features of congenital hypothyroidism but near-normal thyroid function tests. Here, we report outcomes following twelve years of thyroxine therapy in this patient.Methods: Colonic contractility, intestinal transit time, growth, resting energy expenditure, heart rate and biochemical para...

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...
