We report here a male case of autonomous adenoma (AA) in the thyroid that was caused by a somatic heterozygous mutation in the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) gene at codon 453, which encodes the second transmembrane domain of the protein. This activating mutation of TSHR induced an incr...
