Serial determinations of serum thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), thyrotropin (TSH), thyroid hormone-binding globulin (TBG), prealbumin (TBPA) and albumin were performed in a euthyroid girl with TBG deficiency and in her mother for a period of 22 months after delivery. At 8 days old the child had a serum TBG concentration around 50% of normal level which remained essentially unchanged during infancy. Total serum T4 and T3 concentrations were low, the free serum T4, free serum T3 and serum TSH concentrations were normal. The mother had received thyroid hormone from the age of 15 years. Her serum TBG level at 6 weeks post partum was similar to that of non-pregnant adults but decreased to about 50% of normal level, indicating a TBG deficiency. She remained euthyroid after withdrawal of T4 therapy. Serum TBPA and albumin concentration were normal in mother and child. An X-linked inheritance of the TBG deficiency was suggested from a study of the family.
