MeSH Heading: Thyroid Hormone Resistance Syndrome
Tree Number(s): C19.874.410.500
Unique ID: D018382
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018382
Annotation: differentiate from EUTHYROID SICK SYNDROME where a non-thyroid disease is also present
Scope Note: An inherited autosomal recessive trait, characterized by peripheral resistance to THYROID HORMONES and the resulting elevation in serum levels of THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE. This syndrome is caused by mutations of gene THRB encoding the THYROID HORMONE RECEPTORS BETA in target cells. HYPOTHYROIDISM in these patients is partly overcome by the increased thyroid hormone levels.
Entry Term(s): Generalized Resistance to Thyroid Hormone; Generalized Thyroid Hormone Resistance; Refetoff Syndrome; Refetoff-DeWind-DeGroot Syndrome; Thyroid Hormone Resistance
