MTHFR gene polymorphisms in hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism among Jordanian females

ABSTRACT Objective Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is involved in DNA methylation that is associated with autoimmune pathology. We investigated the association between MTHFR genetic polymorphisms at g.677C>T and g.1298A>C and their haplotypes, and the risk of thyroid dysfunction among...

Alteraçöes somáticas, hereditárias ou congênitas de funçäo tiróidea associadas a mutaçöes no receptor de TSH
Hereditary or congenital somatic changes of the thyroid function associated to mutation in the TSH receptor

As mutaçoes no receptor de TSH condicionam dois tipos de resposta fenótípica com quadro de hipotireoidismo/eutireoidismo (resistência da célula folicular ao TSH) ou hipertireoidismo (adenoma tóxico, tireotoxicose familiar ou congênita). Na ausência de resposta da célula tireóidea ao TSH nao há...
