Same protein, different disease
- Thyroid hormone resistance, generalized, autosomal dominant is also caused by THRB variants; they fall mostly in different places as the Generalized resistance to thyroid hormone variants (35 disease-causing).
- Hyperthyroidism is also caused by THRB variants; they fall partly in the same places as the Generalized resistance to thyroid hormone variants (10 disease-causing).
- Selective pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone is also caused by THRB variants; they fall mostly in different places as the Generalized resistance to thyroid hormone variants (5 disease-causing).
- Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome is also caused by THRB variants; they fall mostly in different places as the Generalized resistance to thyroid hormone variants (4 disease-causing).

About this data
Variant–disease links come from ClinVar, Open Targets and UniProt, pooled from the latest public CATVariant analysis of each human protein. Evidence scores use the ACMG/AMP Bayesian points scale with computable criteria only (position among known disease variants, rarity in gnomAD, calibrated predictors, deep mutational scanning); there is no family or patient data, so they prioritise variants for expert review and never classify them.
