Hypothyroidism due to ectopy in siblings

M. Kaplan, R. Kauli, U. Raviv, E. Lubin and Z. Laron

Two families each had two siblings with hypothyroidism due to ectopy and hypoplasia of the thyroid. A genetic factor controlling normal thyroid development and descent may be responsible, and the importance of plasma thyroid-stimulating hormone estimation in borderline hypothyroid cases is emphasized. We suggest screening of siblings of patients with ectopic thyroid for hypothyroidism.
