Routine measurement of thyrotropin-receptor antibodies is not mandatory, but when such assays are performed, they have 99% sensitivity and specificity for Graves’ disease. 47 They are also ...

Academic content will focus on the role(s) of TSH Receptor Antibodies in Thyroid Disease, differential diagnostic modalities with attention being paid to clinical validity, as well as the diagnostic ...

In 1993 Parma and co-workers first described the presence of activating mutations in the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) gene in sporadic autonomous hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas.

The presence of antibodies to TSH receptor (TSHR) is the hallmark of Graves disease (GD). These antibodies mimic the action of TSH, resulting in TSHR stimulation and hyperthyroidism, and have been ...

TSH Receptor Autoantibodies (TRAb) The TSH receptor is a member of the superfamily of receptors with seven transmembrane domains linked to G proteins.

image: Upon binding of a hormone (TSH), the receptor is taken up by the cell (internalization) and transported to the TGN, where it induces local cAMP production and PKA activation.

WASHINGTON —Thyrotropin receptor antibody levels in pregnant women were shown to be a reliable predictor of thyroid dysfunction in fetuses and newborns, according to findings presented at the ...

Mothers who give birth to babies with neonatal hypothyroidism tend to have higher levels of free thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies than those whose newborns have normal ...

Patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) have high prevalence of anti-thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibody (TRAb), according to a study published in the International Journal of ...

The thyrotropin receptor is a member of the family of G protein–coupled receptors. 9 The mechanism by which thyroid-stimulating antibodies bind to and activate the thyrotropin receptor is not ...
