  3. 3. Hypothyroidism caused by a mutant thyroid hormone receptor alpha1 : consequences for development and physiology

    Author : Maria Sjögren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lack of sufficient thyroid hormone during pregnancy and early postnatal development results in profound mental retardation and motor deficits whereas altered thyroid status in the adult is associated with disturbed metabolic homeostasis and impaired cardiac function. Thyroid hormone mediates its effects through the distinct thyroid hormone receptors (TR) TRalpha1 and TRbeta1-2, which are ligand-modulated transcription factors that regulate gene expression both in the presence and absence of hormone.
