Platelet function and serum lipoprotein levels were studied in ten patients (two males and eight females) with hypothyroidism. Platelet aggregation and ATP release were determined by Lumi-aggregometer using ADP , collagen and epinephrine as stimulants. Platelet factor 4 (PF4) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) were determined by radioimmunoassay. High density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL-C) was determined by heparin-manga-nese method. HDL subfractions were separated by gradient gel electrophoresis (PAA 4/30). Apolipopro-teins were measured by single radial immunodiffusion. Platelet aggregation increased in those patients at stimulating by epinephrine. ATP release also increased at stimulating by epinephrine. PF4 increased at stimulating by epinephrine. TXB2 increased at stimu-lating--by ADP or epinephrine significantly (p<0.05), respectively. Platelet aggregation was not correlated with thyroid hormones or total cholesterol levels.But it had a positive correlation tendency with HDL-C or HDL2-C and a negative one with HDL3-C levels.These results suggested some relationships between platelet function and HDL metabolism in patients with hypothyroidism.

Resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ) is a syndrome characterized by a reduced response of target tissues to thyroid hormones. In 85% of cases, a pathogenic mutation in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB) gene is found. The clinical picture of RTHβ is very diverse; the most common findings are goiter and tachycardia, but the patients might be clinically euthyroid. The laboratory findings are almost pathognomonic with elevated free thyroxin (fT4) levels and high or normal thyrotropin (TSH) levels; free triiodothyronin (fT3) levels may also be elevated. We present three siblings with THRB mutation (heterozygous disease-variant c.727C>T, p.Arg243Trp); two of them also had hypercholesterolemia, while all three had several other clinical characteristics of RTHβ. This is the first description of the known Slovenian cases with RTHβ due to the pathogenic mutation in the THRB gene. Hypercholesterolemia might be etiologically related with RTHβ, since the severity of hormonal resistance varies among different tissues and hypercholesterolemia in patients with THRB variants might indicate the relatively hypothyroid state of the liver. We suggest that cholesterol levels are measured in all RTHβ patients.
