Background: Elevations or deficits in thyroid hormone levels are responsible for a wide
range of neonatal and adult phenotypes. Several genome-wide, candidate gene, and meta …

Objective Genome-wide association studies in adults have identified 42 loci associated with
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and 21 loci associated with free thyroxine (FT4) …

Background: Intrauterine adaptation to the outside environment is an important mechanism
via which the fetus increases its chance to thrive after birth. Therefore, various maternal …

Background Hypothyroidism is associated with obesity, and thyroid hormones are involved
in the regulation of body composition, including fat mass. Genome-wide association studies …

Objective Studies that evaluated the genetic influences on thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH) concentrations were primarily performed in twin cohorts. The aim of this study was to …

About 30% of children with elevated TSH levels during neonatal screening have a transient
form of disorder. On the other hand, it has been reported that subclinical hypothyroidism …

Background: A longitudinal study was conducted in full-term healthy infants who were born
between 2015 and 2017 in Athens, Greece, to elucidate the evolution of thyrotropin (TSH) …

Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as a serum TSH level above the statistically set
reference range, associated to normal free thyroid hormone concentrations. Genetic and …

Purpose This study was to evaluate the effect of neonatal, maternal, and delivery factors on
neonatal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) of healthy newborns. Methods Medical records …

Aims: Low birth weight is associated with hypothyroidism and an adverse metabolic profile
in later life. Our aim was to examine the relationship between neonatal TSH and birth …
