Somatic mutations in the thyrotropin receptor gene cause hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas

TL;DR: Somatic mutations in the carboxv-terminal portion of the third cytoplasmic loop of the thyrotropin receptor are identified in three out of eleven hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas, showing that G-protein-coupled receptors are susceptible to constitutive activation by spontaneous somatic mutations and may thus behave as proto-oncogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Germline mutations in the thyrotropin receptor gene cause non-autoimmune autosomal dominant hyperthyroidism.

TL;DR: This new disease entity is the germline counterpart of hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas, in which different somatic mutations with similar functional characteristics have been demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Familial Gestational Hyperthyroidism Caused by a Mutant Thyrotropin Receptor Hypersensitive to Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

TL;DR: Some degree of stimulation of the thyroid gland by human chorionic gonadotropin is common during early pregnancy, but overt hyperthyroidism may ensue when serum chorionics concentrations are abnormally high.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brief report: congenital hyperthyroidism caused by a mutation in the thyrotropin-receptor gene.

TL;DR: A molecular basis for autonomous thyroid function has been found in some patients with hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas, and somatic mutations in stimulatory G (guanine nucleotide–binding) have been found.
