Thyroid hormone metabolism, abnormal, 2(THMA2)

MedGen UID:
1812066
Concept ID:
C5676976
Finding
Synonym: THMA2
 
Gene (location): DIO1 (1p32.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030839
OMIM®: 619855

Definition

Abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism-2 (THMA2) is characterized by elevated serum reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) levels and rT3/T3 ratios. Some patients exhibit resistance to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; see 188540) with mildly elevated TSH levels, and elevated cholesterol levels have been observed (Franca et al., 2021). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism, see THMA1 (609698). [from OMIM]
