Clin Case Rep. 2017 Dec 29;6(2):337-341. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1344. eCollection 2018 Feb.

Abstract

A rare case of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) complicated with Graves' hyperthyroidism was reported. The management of this disease is similar to that of Graves' disease. Antithyroid drug therapy is the first choice, and iodine therapy and surgery are not recommended due to the possibility of severe hypothyroidism and enlargement of the pituitary gland.

Keywords: Genetic mutation; Graves’ disease; thyroid hormone receptor β; thyroid hormone resistance.
