Context: Patients with resistance to thyroid hormone (TH) alpha (RTH alpha) are characterized by growth retardation, macrocephaly, constipation, and abnormal thyroid function tests. In addition, almost all RTH alpha patients have mild anemia, the pathogenesis of which is unknown. Animal studies suggest an important role for TH and TH receptor (TR)alpha in erythropoiesis.
