Molecular Characteristics:
sporadic occurence in two non-related children
"Freiburg" P1/II/3 (Holzapfel et al.)
"Rostock" P2/II/1 (Führer et al.)
Note:
Blue marked individuals are identical. P2/I/1 is married twice. 
Clinical Features:
"Freiburg" P1/II/3 (Holzapfel et al.):
onset:
P1/II/3: fetal

diagnosis:
P1/II/3: 5 months
excessive thyroid enlargement, staring eyes, speech disturbances, advanced bone age, craniosynostosis


"Rostock" P2/II/1 (Führer et al.):
onset and diagnosis:
P2/II/1: 11 months
excessive thyroid enlargement, advanced bone age
P2/I/2: juvenile goiter

* based on 3 hot nodules investigated by Trülzsch et al. 2001, Gozu et al. 2006 and Nishihara et al. 2009
and on 3 activating sporadic germline mutations investigated by Holzapfel et al. 1997, Holzapfel 1997, and Fuhrer et al. 1999
and on 1 activating familial germline mutation investigated by Vaidya et al. 2004 
Treatment:
"Freiburg" P1/II/3 (Holzapfel et al.):
antithyroid drugs ineffective, near-total TE at 27 months, relapse of hyperthyroidism at 6.6yr

"Rostock" P2/II/1 (Führer et al.):
antithyroid drugs, parental incompliance

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*
