Introduction: The Thr92Ala polymorphism of deiodinase 2 (DIO2) is associated with increased expression in the brain of genes associated with oxidative stress, and may predict favourable response to combination thyroxine (L-T4) plus triiodothyronine (T3) therapy. We examined whether the Thr92Ala polymorphism (rs225014) was associated with differences in thyroid hormone parameters, health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) and cognitive functio...
