The thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) mutation database, consisting of all known TSHR mutations and their clinical characterizations, was established in 1999. The database contents are updated here with the same website (tsh-receptor-mutation-database.org). The new database contains 638 cases of TSHR mutations: 448 cases of gain of function mutations (7 novel mutations and 41 new cases for previously described mutations since its last update in 2012) and 190 cases of loss of function mutations (28 novel mutations and 31 new cases for previously described mutations since its last update in 2012). This database is continuously updated and allows for rapid validation of patient TSHR mutations causing hyper- or hypothyroidism or insensitivity to TSH.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D011989 Receptors, Thyrotropin Cell surface proteins that bind pituitary THYROTROPIN (also named thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH) and trigger intracellular changes of the target cells. TSH receptors are present in the nervous system and on target cells in the thyroid gland. Autoantibodies to TSH receptors are implicated in thyroid diseases such as GRAVES DISEASE and Hashimoto disease (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE).

D003409 Congenital Hypothyroidism A condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of THYROID HORMONES that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or HYPOTHYROIDISM in infants of mothers treated with THIOURACIL during pregnancy. Endemic cretinism is the result of iodine deficiency. Clinical symptoms include severe MENTAL RETARDATION, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and MYXEDEMA.
