Popis: Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a genetic disorder characterized by reduced tissue responsiveness to thyroid hormone. We herein describe a 60-year old man who presented with the clinical features of cardiomyopathy, diabetes mellitus and elevated thyroid hormones with unsuppressed thyroid stimulating hormone. A genetic analysis of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) revealed a missense mutation (A268D) in the TRβ gene. Clinical manifestations of RTH may be variable due to different tissue distributions of TR subtypes and different actions of mutant receptors. The current case demonstrates that patients with a TRβ mutation may have impaired his glucose metabolism and a reduced cardiac function, although patients appear clinically euthyroid.
