Forty-eight hour radioiodine uptake, peak serum TSH, and stimulated serum Tg levels after administration of rhTSH are repeatable between studies, demonstrating reproducibility of diagnostic results without rendering patients hypothyroid.
Hyperthyroidism in Graves' disease is caused by thyroid-stimulating autoantibodies to the TSH receptor (TSHR), whereas hypothyroidism in Hashimoto's thyroiditis is associated with thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin autoantibodies.
A single amino acid change in the acetylcholinesterase-like domain of thyroglobulin causes congenital goiter with hypothyroidism in the cog/cog mouse: a model of human endoplasmic reticulum storage diseases.
Novel compound heterozygous Thyroglobulin mutations c.745+1G>A/c.7036+2T>A associated with congenital goiter and hypothyroidism in a Vietnamese family. Identification of a new cryptic 5' splice site in the exon 6.
Two novel mutations have been detected, and we show that TG mutation p.A2215D promotes the retention of TG within the endoplasmic reticulum and reduces TG synthesis and secretion, causing mild hypothyroidism.
We recently demonstrated in Ctns(-/-) mice that altered thyroglobulin biosynthesis associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, combined with defective lysosomal processing, caused hypothyroidism.
Although the tissue TG content was greatly reduced, the hypothyroidism was mild with slow progression of the goiter, because the mutant TG was a relatively good substrate for the synthesis of the thyroid hormones.
Our study provides further evidence that mutations in the TG gene cause congenital goiter and hypothyroidism, demonstrates genetic heterogeneity of the mutation, and increases our understanding of phenotype-genotype correlations in congenital hypothyroidism.
We collected information on thyroid-specific phenotypes (TSH, T3, T4, fT4, TgAb, TPOAb, thyroid volume) and other clinical phenotypes (age, body surface area, number of hypothyroidism symptoms, blood pressure) from 290 patients with HT without levothyroxine (LT4) therapy with the aim to test for correlations between thyroid-specific and clinical phenotypes.
The high prevalence of reversible hypothyroidism and the TSH-dependent elevation of the serum Tg levels was suggested in Japanese patients with advanced CKD.
In females, there was an ApoE allele effect on thyroid status (P < or = 0.01), E2 being negatively (P < or = 0.01) and E4 being positively (P < or = 0.05) associated with "hypothyroidism".
To determine the mechanisms of manganese-induced hypothyroidism and understand how SLC30A10 and SLC39A14 cooperatively mediate manganese detoxification, here we produced <i>Slc39a14</i> single and <i>Slc30a10/Slc39a14</i> double knockout mice and compared their phenotypes with that of <i>Slc30a10</i> single knockouts.
Basal thyrotropin levels were low despite hypothyroidism and increments were less than 3 micromicron per milliliter after thyrotropin-releasing hormone injection.
Due to case reports of thyroid dysfunction in 18q deletions and the well-established association between hypothyroidism and aneusomies, we undertook thyroid testing in all individuals and completed TRH studies on 50 of them.
The syndrome is characterized by: adipsia-hypodipsia (5/5 patients), recurrent hypernatremia (5/5), obesity (4/5), inability to excrete a water load (5/5), lack of growth hormone release in response to provocative stimuli (4/4), blunted thyrotropin releasing hormone responses (3/4), hypothyroidism (2/4), and hyperlipemia associated with hypernatremic crisis (1/1).
