Molecular Characteristics:
default 
Clinical Features:
diagnosis:
III/2: 19 months (index patient), diffuse goiter
III/1: 4.3yr
II/1: 9yr, goiter

III/2: TSH binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII) borderline positive

III/1: thyroid microsomal and thyroglobulin antibodies strongly positive, gastro-oesophageal reflux at 4yr

based on 3 hot nodules investigated by Trülzsch et al. 2001, Gozu et al. 2006 and Nishihara et al. 2009
and on 2 activating sporadic germline mutations investigated by Holzapfel et al. 1997 and Fuhrer et al. 1999
and on 1 activating familial germline mutation investigated by Vaidya et al. 2004 
Treatment:
III/2: total TE at 6yr, relapse at 8yr, antithyroid drugs

III/1: total TE at 8yr, euthyroid with L-T4

II/1: antithyroid drugs ineffective, subtotal TE at 13yr, further thyroid resection at 19yr, local irradtion with Telecobalt at 21yr
relapse at 23yr, euthyroid with antithyroid medication

Legend:
cAMP (basal): basal in vitro cAMP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
cAMP (TSH): maximal in vitro cAMP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
IP (basal): basal in vitro IP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
IP (TSH): maximal in vitro IP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
TSH-binding: maximal TSH-binding compared to the wild-type TSHR
Cell surface expression: cell surface expression of mutant compared to WT-TSHR
LRA: linear regression analysis (LRA) of constitutive activity as a function of TSHR expression determined by 125I-bTSH binding or FACS analysis compared to the wild-type TSHR
Prevalence: Prevalence of (somatic and germline) activating mutations*
