Resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ) is a syndrome characterized by reduced responsiveness of peripheral tissues to thyroid hormone (TH). In most cases, the disorder is associated with germline pathogenic variants in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB) gene. This paper summarizes the clinical and biochemical presentation of the disease, providing a comprehensive overview on molecular genetic features. Particular care is given in reporting all identified THRB variants with an assessed or unknown clinical significance. Our aim is to offer a useful tool for clinical and genetic specialists in order to ease clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling.
甲状腺激素β抵抗(RTHβ)是一种外周组织对甲状腺激素(TH)反应降低的综合征。在大多数情况下,该疾病与甲状腺激素受体β(THRB)基因的种系致病性变异有关。本文总结了该疾病的临床和生化表现,提供了对分子遗传特征的全面概述。特别注意报告所有具有评估或未知临床意义的已识别 THRB 变异。我们的目的是为临床和遗传专家提供有用的工具,以方便临床诊断和遗传咨询。
