Thyroid hormone resistance syndromes are disorders in which there is decreased end-organ responsiveness to thyroid hormone. Patients typically present with elevated levels of thyroxine and triiodothyronine with a normal or increased serum thyroid-stimulating hormone concentration. Clinical features are variable, and there are no guidelines regarding treatment.
