Scientists hunt for genetic clues behind childhood thyroid disorder
NCT ID NCT01916018
Summary
This study aimed to better understand congenital hypothyroidism, a rare condition where babies are born with an underactive thyroid gland. Researchers analyzed the genes and physical traits of 558 patients to find links between specific genetic changes and the characteristics of the disease. The goal was to improve understanding of its causes, the risk of it running in families, and why some children also have other health problems.
