46 Resistance to thyroid hormones (RTH) First described as a clinical entity in 1967 (Refetoff et al. JCEM 1967; 27: ) TH receptors first isolated and described in 1986 Thyroid hormone resistance is an inherited condition in 85% of cases (autosomal dominant) (15% de novo mutations) RTH: Mutation is found in the TRB gene in 85% of cases Mutations result in the production of a mutant receptor that inhibits the function of wild-type THR = dominant-negative mutation > need for higher levels of thyroid hormones to achieve the same intracellular effect
47 THRβ RTH THR β Hyperthyroidism signs through the alpha signalling: Tachycardia, sweating, nervousness, etc THRα T4 T3 THR β Eu - vs hypothyroidism signs through the mutated beta signalling: Growth delay, mental deficiency (homozygous) THRα THR β
48 THRβ RTH Clinical phenotypes RTH β are highly variable even for a same/given mutation in a same family - Depending on the mutation and the degree of individual tissue responsiveness Most patients with RTH β are heterozygous 4 patients with homozygous mutations with more severe phenotype Goiter (75%; < TSH+) No symptoms > growth (18%) and bone delay (29%) maturation, tachycardia (effort), heart malformation, impaired earing (21%), visual and intellectual disabilities (38%), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
49 CLINICAL CASE 4 What does the biologist see : ambulatory 10 years old girl Reference values TSH ( µui /ml) 1,88 0,3-4 ft4 (ng/dl) 3,9 0,8-2 ft3 (pg/ml) 9,2 2,5-4,7 Anti-Tg (IU/ml) 90,3 <60 Anti-TPO (IU/ml) 46 <60 Goiter, tachycardia, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

51 ft4???? TSH L-T4 therapy (very common) Assay interference (common) Resistance to thyroid hormone (very rare) Assay interference (very rare) TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma (very rare) What do you suggest?
52 Clinical case 4 Family history of thyroid disease? Thyroid function in the parents? Reference values TSH ( µui /ml) 1,88 0,3-4 ft4 (ng/dl) 2,9 0,8-2 ft3 (pg/ml) 6,8 2,5-4,7 Same profile in the mother Pituitary MRI: N THRB mutation Treatment: β-blockers
53 TAKE HOME MESSAGE 4 If thyroid tests are discordant and possibly consistent with a genetic inherited disease: Ask for family medical history and control thyroid tests in first-degree relatives.
54 CLINICAL CASE 5 What does the biologist see : ambulatory 40 years old woman Reference values TSH ( µui /ml) 3,46 0,4-4 ft4 (ng/dl) 2,29 0,9-2 ft3 (pg/ml) 5,9 1,8-4,6

57 CLINICAL CASE 5: CLINICAL CONTEXT Send by her general practitioner in 2005 for strange thyroid tests She underwent left lobectomy for cold nodule in 1983 Under 75 µg of l-t4 since surgery No family history of thyroid disease (both parents died of cancers) - no children - not pregnant Treatment: Seroxat and alprazolam (depression), L T4 Stable weight normal menstrual cycles sweating, nervousness Physical examination: BMI 21kg/m2; HR 82 ; BP 130/70
58 What do you suggest? sweating, nervousness Best Pract Res Clin Endocrinol Metab Dec; 27(6):
59 CLINICAL CASE 5 Repeat thyroid testing (also in other labs) in the morning before taking L-T4: 04/2004 TSH 3.17 T4L 2.46 (0.9-2) 10/2004 TSH 3.05 T4L 2.43 T3L /2005 TSH 4.65 T4L 2.2 T3 L /2005 TSH 3.46 T4L 2.29 T3L weeks after the stop of L-T4 TSH 4.0 µui/ml, ft3 5,7 pg/ml (1,8-4,6), ft4 2 ng/dl (0,8-1,7)

61 ft4???? TSH L-T4 therapy (very common) Assay interference (common) Resistance to thyroid hormone (very rare) Assay interference (very rare) TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma (very rare) What could we do/ask before the MRI?
62 CLINICAL CASE 5: MEDICAL HISTORY PREVIOUS BIOLOGY Left hemi-thyroidectomy for 2 cm papillary thyroid cancer Thyroid test in october 1983 under «suppressive» L-Thyroxine treatment: TSH 0.9; ft4 ft3 N What is the most likely diagnosis?
63 CLINICAL CASE 5: MRI
64 CLINICAL CASE 5: MRI
65 TSH (mu/l) CLINICAL CASE 5: TRH-TEST TRH-test
66 CLINICAL CASE 5
67 TAKE HOME MESSAGE 5 If thyroid tests are discordant: Ask for previous thyroid test to distinguish between acquired and inherited affections.
68 TAKE HOME MESSAGES: Thyroid function test interpretation can be challenging for the biologist and the clinician Discussion between the clinician and the biologist is essential to achieve the right diagnosis Clinical context is basic (age, treatment, signs, symptoms, general health status) Think first to the most frequent etiologies (L-thyroxine treatment)
69 TAKE HOME MESSAGES: Control the other pituitary hormones if suspicion of central hypothyroidism (after discussion with the clinician) To distinguish between acquired and genetic disorders: Importance of the family history If possible, check thyroid function in the first-degree relatives Try to find previous thyroid tests
