[The following topics are addressed: molecular mutations causing central hypothyroidism (isolated autosomal recessive TRH deficiency; autosomal recessive TRH-receptor inactivating mutations; TSH beta-subunit bio-inactivating mutations; Pit-1 mutations; Prop1 mutations; high molecular weight bio-inactive TSH); defects in response to TSH (mutations in the TSH receptor: TSH receptor gain-of-function mutations; TSH receptor loss-of-function mutations); defects in thyroid gland formation: transcription factor mutations (TTF-2 and Pax8); defects in peripheral thyroid hormone metabolism (defective intrapituitary conversion of T4 to T3; hemangioma consumption of thyroid hormone); and defects in tissue response to thyroid hormone (generalized thyroid hormone resistance, selective pituitary thyroid hormone resistance).].
