Thyroid hormone resistance, generalized, autosomal recessive

Refetoff syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder of thyroid hormone resistance caused by mutations of the throid hormon receptor gene (THRB). The clinical picture includes hight levels of thyroid hormone and also hight TSH. The hight TSH levels result in Goiter and require inapproprately hight doses of thyroid homone to become reduced.
