hereditary occurrence in two non-related families
Family 1 - Pedigree 1: Biebermann et al.
Family 2 - Pedigree 2: Elagdi et al.
Note:Blue marked individuals are indentical (P2/II/2) 
Clinical Features:
Family 1 - Pedigree 1 (Biebermann et al):
diagnosis:
P1/III/1: 3yr (index patient)
P1/II/1: 4yr
P1/I/2: adolescence

P1/III/1: prominent eyes but no exophthalmus (MRI)


Family 2 - Pedigree 2 (Elgadi et al.):
diagnosis:
P2/IV/1: 5yr (index patient)
P2/III/1: 17yr
P2/III/2: 13yr
P2/II/1: no age of diagnosis reported

P2/IV/1: excessive sweating, morning stiffness, pain in lower limbs
P2/II/1: supraventricular tachycardia
P2/I/2: hyperthyroid

* based on 2 hot nodules investigated by Paloz-Paz et al. 2008
and 4 activating familial germline mutations investigated by Biebermann et al. 2001,
Elgadi et al. 2005, Larsen et al 2014 and Winkler et al 2010 
Treatment:
Family 1 - Pedigree 1 (Biebermann et al.):
P1/III/1: antithyroid drugs ineffective, total TE at 7.75yr, clinically euthyroid with L-T4

P1/II/1: antithyroid drugs ineffective, subtotal TE at 7.5yr, euthyroid since

P1/I/1: subtotal TE at 15yr, now unilateral goiter, clinically euthyroid


Family 2 - Pedigree 2 (Elgadi et al.):
P2/IV/1: antithyroid drugs and L-T4, relapse after discontinuation, subtotal TE at 8.4yr, euthyroid with L-T4

P2/III/1, P2/III/2, P2/II/1: antithyroid drugs and L-T4
P2/III/1: TE at 18yr
P2/III/2: TE at 15yr
P2/II/1: TE

Legend:
cAMP (basal): basal in vitro cAMP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
cAMP (TSH): maximal in vitro cAMP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
IP (basal): basal in vitro IP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
IP (TSH): maximal in vitro IP production of mutant over wild-type TSHR
TSH-binding: maximal TSH-binding compared to the wild-type TSHR
Cell surface expression: cell surface expression of mutant compared to WT-TSHR
LRA: linear regression analysis (LRA) of constitutive activity as a function of TSHR expression determined by 125I-bTSH binding or FACS analysis compared to the wild-type TSHR
Prevalence: Prevalence of (somatic and germline) activating mutations*
