X-linked polymorphic variation of thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) is observed in several human groups. Isoelectric focusing of plasma samples labeled in vitro with [125I]thyroxin, followed by autoradiography, also reveals genetically determined polymorphic electrophoretic variation in baboon TBG. Th

The variant thyroxine-binding globulin in a family from Montreal (TBG-M) has a reduced affinity for thyroxine, shows a slight cathodal shift on isoelectric focusing, and has an increased susceptibility to inactivation by heat and acid. We present the molecular basis for TBG-M, deduced by sequencing
This investigation was undertaken to evaluate thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) as a marker of liver tumors, in conjunction with the liver scintigram. Of 30 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC), 22 (73.3%) showed significantly higher TBG concentrations. Eight patients (26.7%) showed n
The thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) polymorphism was investigated in three African groups: two belonged to the Bwa villages of Mali, and the third was a Dogon group living in the same area. The Bwa groups were characterized by the occurrence of nodular goitres, whereas the Dogon population did not s
