Abstract
► Mutations of thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are associated with human cancers. ► Loss of TR normal functions by deletion or mutations contributes to cancer development. ► Mice harboring a homozygous mutation of TRβ spontaneously develop thyroid cancer. ► Nuclear and extra-nuclear actions of a TRβ mutant mediate thyroid carcinogenesis. ► Mouse models of thyroid cancer allow uncovering novel molecular targets for treatment.
