ABSTRACT
Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome is a genetic disease determined by a mutation that modifies the configuration of the beta thyroid hormone receptor, affecting its T3 binding capacity. Increased T3 and T4, determined by a compensatory TSH elevation secondary to pituitary resistance, allows an euthyroid functional state in most of the cases. The coexistence of pregnancy and thyroid hormone resistance is uncommon. Therefore, the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy has not been determined. We report a 32 years old woman with thyroid hormone resistance, that became pregnant. During her pregnancy, she wassupplemented with levothyroxine in doses of 50 to 60 ug/day and remained euthyroid. Fetal development and growth were normal.
