In the 27 families with FNAH the onset of hyperthyroidism varies from 18 months to 60 years. Also the manifestation of goiters is variable in these families.A 74 year old women first presented at the age of 69 years in 9/2006 with tachyarrythmia and hypertension. After the initial treatment of her hypertension and oral anticoagulation for her intermittant atrialfibrilation 3/2007 a thyroid workup revealed a suppressed TSH of 0.029 (normal< 0.4 mU/l) ...

The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones, which are essential regulators of growth, development and metabolism of the body and is mainly regulated by the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)/TSH receptor (TSHR) interplay. The TSHR couples to all four G protein families in vitro but only for the Gs and Gq signaling cascade a role has been identified in vivo. To gain further insights into the complex signaling networks mediated by G proteins in the thyroid, we generated...
