Familial hyperthyroidism due to mutations in TSH receptor

MedGen UID:
373154
Concept ID:
C1836706
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: HYPERTHYROIDISM, CONGENITAL NONAUTOIMMUNE; Hyperthyroidism, nonautoimmune; HYPERTHYROIDISM, NONAUTOIMMUNE, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT; TOXIC THYROID HYPERPLASIA, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
 
Gene (location): TSHR (14q31.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0012203
OMIM®: 609152
Orphanet: ORPHA424

Definition

A rare hyperthyroidism characterized by mild to severe hyperthyroidism, presence of goiter, absence of features of autoimmunity, frequent relapses while on treatment and a positive family history. [from ORDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Tachycardia
MedGen UID:
21453
Concept ID:
C0039231
Finding
A rapid heartrate that exceeds the range of the normal resting heartrate for age.
Small for gestational age
MedGen UID:
65920
Concept ID:
C0235991
Finding
Smaller than normal size according to sex and gestational age related norms, defined as a weight below the 10th percentile for the gestational age.
Hyperactivity
MedGen UID:
98406
Concept ID:
C0424295
Finding
Hyperactivity is a condition characterized by constant and unusually high levels of activity, even in situations where it is deemed inappropriate.
Delayed speech and language development
MedGen UID:
105318
Concept ID:
C0454644
Finding
A degree of language development that is significantly below the norm for a child of a specified age.
Motor delay
MedGen UID:
381392
Concept ID:
C1854301
Finding
A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills.
Intellectual disability
MedGen UID:
811461
Concept ID:
C3714756
Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.
Accelerated skeletal maturation
MedGen UID:
154262
Concept ID:
C0545053
Finding
An abnormally increased rate of skeletal maturation. Accelerated skeletal maturation can be diagnosed on the basis of an estimation of the bone age from radiographs of specific bones in the human body.
Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity
MedGen UID:
1392952
Concept ID:
C4476743
Laboratory or Test Result
The presence of autoantibodies (immunoglobulins) in the serum that react against thyroid peroxidase.
Anti-thyroglobulin antibody positivity
MedGen UID:
1670955
Concept ID:
C4732836
Finding
The presence of autoantibodies (immunoglobulins) in the serum that react to thyroglobulin.
Increased circulating thyroglobulin concentration
MedGen UID:
1375023
Concept ID:
C4476805
Finding
An abnormal elevation of the concentration of thyroglobulin, a protein produced in the thyroid gland that acts as a precursor to thyrroid hormones.
Pretibial myxedema
MedGen UID:
450990
Concept ID:
C0033103
Disease or Syndrome
A diffuse, non-pitting edema and thickening of the skin usually on the anterior aspect of the lower legs spreading to the dorsum of the feet.
Premature birth
MedGen UID:
57721
Concept ID:
C0151526
Pathologic Function
The birth of a baby of less than 37 weeks of gestational age.
Goiter
MedGen UID:
42270
Concept ID:
C0018021
Disease or Syndrome
An enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Hyperthyroidism
MedGen UID:
6972
Concept ID:
C0020550
Disease or Syndrome
An abnormality of thyroid physiology characterized by excessive secretion of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (i.e., T4) and/or 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine zwitterion (i.e., triiodothyronine or T3).
Thyroid hyperplasia
MedGen UID:
206817
Concept ID:
C1112776
Finding
Hyperplasia of the thyroid gland.
Decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone level
MedGen UID:
717708
Concept ID:
C1295607
Finding
Reduced amount of the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the function of the thyroid gland.
Increased circulating free T3
MedGen UID:
867466
Concept ID:
C4021843
Finding
An elevated concentration of free 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine in the blood circulation.
Increased circulating T4 concentration
MedGen UID:
1619052
Concept ID:
C4531079
Finding
An elevation above the normal concentration of thyroxine in the blood. Thyroxine (also known as T4) is the main hormone secreted by the thyroid gland into the blood. It can be converted into the active form triiodothyronine (also known as T3).
Proptosis
MedGen UID:
41917
Concept ID:
C0015300
Disease or Syndrome
An eye that is protruding anterior to the plane of the face to a greater extent than is typical.
