A rare thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ) gene mutation in a 15-year-old girl with thyroid hormone resistance syndrome: a case report

Abstract: IntroductionResistance to thyroid hormone is a rare syndrome, where although the level of thyroid hormone is elevated, the level of thyroid stimulating hormone is not suppressed. The patient in our case report is, to the best of our knowledge, the first with this syndrome identified in Oman.Case presentationIn one Omani family, a 15-year-old girl of Arabian origin was pre-diagnosed with resistance to thyroid hormone. Blood sample was collected and deoxyribonucleic acid was isolated for molecular genetic testin… Show more

“…Thus, the larger steric hindrances occur for the unliganded and mutated THR-β. The clinical analysis shows that THRT3-WT is related to euthyroid or normal thyroid functions, THR-WT is related to overt thyroidism and THRT3-MT is related to RTH [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The constancy of root mean square deviation (RMSD) and radius of gyration (RG) of the molecules THRβ protein and T3-hormone over the time frames of equilibration run (Fig.…”

“…The mutant T327I found in THR-β gene shows the paucity of symptoms and signs of thyroid dysfunction suggesting RTH despite the increased serum levels of T3, T4 and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) [7]. A rare mutation A268G found in axon 9 of THR-β gene results RTH with elevated serum T3 and T4, TSH in the normal range and the episodic palpitations associated with mild dizziness [8]. A heterogeneous mutation G344R is identified in axon 10 of THR-β gene of 10-month-old-female resulting in paucity of symptoms of RTH with normal T3, T4 and TSH levels [9].…”

“…Pasienter som plages av palpitasjoner, takykardi og tremor kan ha effekt av betablokkere (23). Noen studier har vist effekt av tyroksin eller liotyronin, fortrinnsvis til barn med forsinket utvikling og til pasienter med dominerende hypotyreosesymptomer.…”

“…Its incidence is about 1/40.000 live births. Its diagnosis is based on biological assessment showing increased circulating free T4 (FT4) and/or free T3 (FT3) levels along with normal or increased levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) (3,5). Generally, patients with THR present no or few hyperthyroidism symptoms.…”
