Abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism

Definition:

Abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism (THMA) is a disorder associated with an inherited selenocysteine (Sec) incorporation defect, caused by mutations in SECISBP2 (also called SBP2). Because SBP2 is epistatic to selenoprotein synthesis, these defects have a generalized effect on selenoproteins.
