The impact of a TSH receptor gene polymorphism on thyroid-related phenotypes in a healthy Danish twin population.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Heterozygous inactivating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) gene cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH), a generally benign disorder characterized by mild to moderate PTH-dependent hypercalcaemia. We aimed to identify the causative CaR mutations in three families with FHH and examine ...
