Abstract: 
We report a family with thyroid hormone resistance caused by a novel mutation M442T in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRbeta) gene. The 59-year-old propositus and one of his two daughters had typical clinical signs of reduced responsiveness of tissues to thyroid hormones. Thus, elevated free T-3 and T-4 plasma concentrations in coexistance with a diffuse nodular goiter, nonsuppressed TSH, and atrial fibrillation with tachycardia were present in the propositus. His affected daughter also had increased levels of free T-3 and T-4 with slightly elevated TSH concentrations. Both affected members harboured a heterozygous M442T TRbeta mutation. The unaffected child had no mutation in the TRbeta gene and no clinical manifestations.
