In this report we describe a 47-yr-old woman who was referred to our department for elevated serum TSH associated with normal free thyroid hormone levels, suggesting subclinical hypothyroidism. When first seen she was clinically euthyroid, and her thyroid gland was normal in size both at palpation
p53 protein participates in the processes of apoptosis, which is involved in a number of immunological reactions. In order to test whether the p53 gene could be used as a genetic marker for the prediction of the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), we screened, by using polymerase
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is characterized by decreased tissue responsiveness to thyroid hormone, due mainly to mutation of the thyroid hormone receptor (TR) beta gene. It has been reported that serum of patients with RTH lacks autoantibodies against thyroglobulin (Tg) and thyroid
A polymorphism in codon 52 of the human thyrotropin receptor results in a proline to threonine substitution in the extracellular domain of the receptor, but the association with autoimmune thyroid disease has been uncertain and there is no report the prevalence of this polymorphism in Orientals. To
A chromatographic method for the separation and determination of D- and L-thyroxine enantiomers (D-, and L-T4) in human serum with a chiral ligand ion-exchange system using a chiral mobile phase additive and a silica column was established. An aqueous eluent containing L-proline (L-pro) sufficiently
The syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is characterized by impaired tissue responses to thyroid hormone. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common thyroid autoimmune disease. We present a Turkish family with both RTH and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. RTH was detected through the presence of
Activating mutations of the TSH receptor (TSH-R) have been reported to result in toxic adenomas, multinodular goiters, sporadic neonatal hyperthyroidism, and familial autosomal dominant nonautoimmune hyperthyroidism. To date, all descriptions of such mutations, whether somatic or genomic, have been
Subclinical hypothyroidism of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis must be distinguished from the rare condition of thyroid resistance to TSH in which variable degrees of congenital insensitivity of the thyroid to a biologically active TSH molecule are present. We studied 42 subjects with slight to
Autoimmune thyroid disease, including Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), is one of the most common endocrine diseases. GD and HT are the main etiologies for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, respectively. This study aimed to provide a metabolomic analysis of GD
