Context: TSH receptor (TSHR) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene mutations occur independently. This is the first report of their coexistence in the same individuals. Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the genotype-phenotype correlations when mutations in both genes are present alone or together in the same individual. Patients and Methods: Thirty subjects from an extended Arab kindred underwent clinical investigation and molecular studies of the mutant TSHRs. Results: A novel mutant TSHR was identified, involving four nucleotides at three sites on the same allele, c.267G>T (L89L), c.269/270AG>CT (Q90P), and c.790C>T (P264S). In addition, two known TPO gene mutations, G493S and R540X, were identified. Thirteen heterozygotes for the mutant TSHR allele had mild hyperthyrotropinemia. In nine of theses, the coexistence of a TPO mutation in one allele did not magnify the hyperthyrotropinemia. Homozygotes for the mutant TSHR and a compound heterozygote for the TPO mutations presented frank hypothyroidism. In vitro studies showed increasing loss of function for Q90P less than P264S less than Q90P/P264S TSHR mutants, the latter being that expressed in the subjects under investigation. The two interchangeably used WT TSHR vectors, L87 and V87, although functionally identical, differed in structure and function in the presence of the Q90P mutation. Conclusions: TSHR and TPO gene mutations were identified alone and together in individuals of a consanguineous kindred. Homozygotes for the TSHR and a compound heterozygote for the TPO mutations were hypothyroid. The mild hyperthyrotropinemia of heterozygotes for the mutant TSHR allele was not aggravated by the coexistence of a TPO defect in one allele.

Constitutively activating mutations in the TSH receptor (TSHR) gene and in the Gsα gene are frequent molecular causes for solitary toxic nodules of the thyroid. However, the etiology of toxic multinodular goiter is still largely unknown. Therefore, DNA from nodular and quiescent surrounding tissue of six patients with toxic multinodular goiters was screened for mutations in exons 9 and 10 of the TSHR gene and exons 7–10 of the Gsα gene by direct automated sequencing. In one patient, two different somatic TSHR mutations were identified in two different toxic nodules (L632I and F631L). In another patient, two different toxic nodules harbored the same TSHR mutation (I630L), whereas only one TSHR mutation (F631L) was identified in one of the two toxic nodules of an additional patient. In the other three patients, no mutations could be found in exons 9 and 10 of the TSHR gene or in exons 7–10 of the Gsα gene. Our results demonstrate that not only solitary toxic adenomas but also toxic multinodular goiters can be caused by constitutively activating mutations of the TSHR. In addition to mutations in the TSHR and possibly in Gsα, there are probably other still unknown mechanisms that cause hot nodules in toxic multinodular goiters.
