The occurrence of a bizarre familial syndrome combining deaf-mutism, stippled epiphyses, goiter and abnormally high PBI in 2 of 6 children of a consanguineous marriage is described. Mean PBI [protein bound iodine] levels were 14 and 21 [mu]g/100 ml; BEI [butanol extractable iodine] 9 and 15 [mu]g/100 ml; T4-by-column 11 and 14 [mu]g/100 ml; 24-hr I131 uptake 49 and 70%; 24-hr PB 1131 conversion ratios 40 and 41%; thyro-binding index 0.81 and 0.93; TBG [thyroxin binding globulin] 17 and 20 [mu]g/100 ml; antithyroglobulin titer less than 1:16. Potassium perchlorate discharge test was normal. Iodine metabolism studied in one subject revealed thyroid iodine clearance of 24 ml/min and renal clearance of 26 ml/min. Urinary iodide excretion was 294 [mu]g/day, and PB I131 was over 70% as T4. The T4 was identified on paper chromatography in 3 solvent systems. The free thyroxine level was 4.9 [mu]g/100 ml. An infant of 8 weeks had a mean PBI of 19.3 [mu]g/100 ml, TBG of 15.8 [mu]g/100 ml, and presumably also has the syndrome. Another sib had a mean PBI of 11 [mu]g/100 ml. Two sibs and the parents are normal. A hypothesis is advanced suggesting the possibility of inhibition of thyroid hormone transport into tissue, or end-organ resistance to the hormone in view of the eumetabolic state of the subjects in the presence of high circulating levels of blood thyroxine and normal thyroxine binding capacity.
