Abstract
Disorders of cellular uptake, metabolism, or action of thyroid hormones comprise syndromes of resistance to thyroid hormone. Reduced entry of thyroid hormones into the central nervous system via a membrane transporter mediates severe mental and psychomotor retardation associated with peripheral hyperthyroidism. Failure of selenocysteine incorporation into 25 different proteins results in a multisystem, selenoprotein deficiency, disorder associated with abnormal thyroid function due to impaired activity of deiodinase selenoenzymes. Resistance to Thyroid Hormone β, due to thyroid hormone β receptor mutations, is characterized by elevated circulating thyroid hormones, impaired feedback inhibition of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion and variable hormone resistance in peripheral tissues. Thyroid hormone receptor α defects cause resistance to thyroid hormone α, characterized by features of hypothyroidism in specific tissues but paradoxically associated with near-normal thyroid hormone levels. We describe the genetic basis, clinical features, pathogenesis, and management of these disorders.
