It is characterized by elevated TSH, absence of goiter (normal or hypoplastic thyroid gland) and normal to very low levels of thyroid hormones. The TSH-receptor (TSHR) gene is located on chromosome 14q31 and it consists of extracellular, trans-membrane and intracellular domains. Mutation in the TSHR may cause either gain or loss of function of the receptor. Loss-of-function mutations are autosomal-recessively inherited and lead to a spectrum of phenotypes, ranging from mild euthyroid hyperthyrotropinemia to severe congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Insensitivity to TSH depends on both the severity and location of the TSHR mutations. Since the first report of familial euthyroid hyperthyrotropinemia caused by a TSHR mutation, several cases of loss-of-function mutations of the TSHR have been reported however only a few reports on the outcome of patients affected with TSHR mutations. Whether the condition of euthyroid hyperthyrotropinemia leads to clinical hypothyroidism, remains stable or normalizes over time has yet to be elucidated. We recently described a unique novel TSHR-inactivating mutation located at the third extracellular loop that preferentially affected the inositol phosphate (IP) pathway in three sisters of Arab-Muslim decent that presented with euthyroid hyperthyrotropinemia. Further analysis of the extended family revealed additional members with TSHR syndrome phenotype carrying two different TSHR mutations. All the affected subjects live in the same town. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical course over time, the genotype-phenotype association and the frequency of these two different TSHR mutations among the highly consanguineous population of the town of Um El Fahem.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Subjects belonging to extended family of the index case', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Subjects belonging to extended family of the index case\n\nExclusion Criteria:'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00747760', 'acronym': 'TSHR', 'briefTitle': 'TSH Receptor Mutations Among a Consanguineous Community', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'HaEmek Medical Center, Israel'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Prevalence of TSH Receptor Mutation Among the Arab Population of Israel', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '920050194'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': '066-2005'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': '1', 'description': 'Extended family members'}, {'label': '2', 'description': 'Control- subjects from the same town without known thyroid diseases'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '60637-1470', 'city': 'Chicago', 'state': 'Illinois', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Samuell Refetoff', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 41.85003, 'lon': -87.65005}}, {'zip': '18101', 'city': 'Afula', 'country': 'Israel', 'facility': "Ha'Emek Medical Center", 'geoPoint': {'lat': 32.60907, 'lon': 35.2892}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Yardena Tenenbaum-Rakover, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': "Ha'Emelk Medical Center,Afula, Israel"}, {'name': 'Samuel Refetoff, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'The University of Chicago, Chicago, Il, USA'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'HaEmek Medical Center, Israel', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'National Institutes of Health (NIH)', 'class': 'NIH'}], 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Dr Yardena Tenenbaum-Rakover, Director Pediatric Endocrine Unit', 'oldOrganization': "Ha'Emek Medical Center, Afula, Israel"}}}}
