Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a ligand-inducible transcription factor, is essential for adipocyte differentiation and lipogenesis. We previously described a kindred in which some individuals were heterozygous for a frameshift/premature stop mutation, (A553ΔAAAiT)fs.185(stop186) in PPARγ, with the truncated protein being non-functional and lacking dominant negative activity1. PPARγ null heterozygotes had norm...

Selenocysteine insertion sequence-binding protein 2 (SECISBP2) mediates translational incorporation of selenocysteine into 25 known human selenoproteins, including iodothyronine deiodinases. Two unrelated male subjects, aged 36 years (P1) and 3.6 years (P2), exhibited markedly elevated free thyroxine (fT4), normal/low free triiodothyronine (fT3), but normal thyrotropin (TSH) levels, indicating reduced T4 to T3 conversion:<table b...

Background and Objective: Thyroid function reference ranges are statistically defined by the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles, which do not account for potential risk of clinical outcomes. We aimed to define the optimal ranges of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4), based on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality.Methods: We performed an individual-participant data analysis and identified prospecti...
