Leading researchers review in depth the mechanisms behind the hormone resistance syndromes caused by receptor mutations. These mutations are involved in a large number of disorders ranging from dwarfism Laron syndrome pseudohypoparathyroidism and resistance to TSH to insulin resistance resistance to thyroid hormone glucocorticoid resistance hereditary resistance to vitamin D and estrogen resistance. This book will be a standard reference in the study of these mutations and in the...

These mutations are involved in a large number of disorders ranging from dwarfism Laron syndrome pseudohypoparathyroidism and resistance to TSH to insulin resistance resistance to thyroid hormone glucocorticoid resistance hereditary resistance to vitamin D and estrogen resistance. This book will be a standard reference in the study of these mutations and in the discovery of additional resistance syndromes.
