Presentation
CHNG1 presents with a range of severity: most patients are euthyroid and asymptomatic, with a thyroid gland of normal size, while a subset of patients develop hypothyroidism and have a hypoplastic thyroid gland. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
A rationalisation of the 1350 boxes used throughout the book gives a simpler and clearer presentation of the various categories. [books.google.de]
It presents variable severity depending on the completeness of the defect. Most patients are euthyroid and asymptomatic, with a normal sized thyroid gland. Only a subset of patients develop hypothyroidism and present a hypoplastic thyroid gland. [uniprot.org]
Family history of hypothyroidism or goiter is present in 20% of cases. Lack of circulating thyroid hormone activates TSH secretion, which causes overstimulation and hyperplasia of defective thyroid gland. [pathologyoutlines.com]

Fatigue
Common signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue; weakness; weight gain; coarse, dry hair; dry, rough, pale skin; hair loss; intolerance to the cold; muscle cramps; constipation; depression; irritability; memory loss; abnormal menstrual cycles [fortherecordmag.com]
With early onset of the disease signs may be indistinct and go undetected such as general fatigue, slight weight gain from fluid retention and decreased metabolism, dry skin, or cold sensitivity. [physio-pedia.com]
Both chronically high blood glucose and hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss despite good appetite, weakness, and fatigue. [diabetesselfmanagement.com]
At first, you may notice general symptoms including: fatigue lethargy sensitivity to cold depression muscle weakness Because the thyroid hormones control the metabolism of all your cells, you might also gain weight. [healthline.com]
A child with an underactive thyroid may experience fatigue, weight gain, constipation, decreased growth, and a host of other issues. [chop.edu]

(These two articles discuss the linkage of the long arm of Chromosome 15 with kindreds having RTSH without known mutations in the TSHR. [endocrinologyadvisor.com]
The open reading frames of the THOX1 and THOX2 genes are divided among 33 exons, spanning 36 and 22 kb, respectively, on the long arm of chromosome 15. All 33 coding exons for both genes were PCR-amplified from genomic DNA of the patients. [nejm.org]
Another form of TSH resistance is dominantly inherited and has been linked to the long arm of chromosome 15 [ 42 ]. Resistance occurs in the absence of a TSH receptor mutation and can again cause thyroid hypoplasia [ 43 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Treatment

Hypothyroid patients require some form of prescription drug treatment, whether a synthetic T4 only treatment ( levothyroxine, Synthroid, Tirosint), a T3 treatment (liothyronine/Cytomel), a combination of synthetic T4 and T3, a natural desiccated thyroid [holtorfmed.com]

Treatment of fetal hypothyroid goitre requires optimization of maternal thyroid status including minimizing doses of antithyroid drugs, followed by either conservative management with neonatal levothyroxine administration, or direct fetal treatment in [edmcasereports.com]
If you had hyperthyroidism (or overactive thyroid), your treatment may have left you with hypothyroidism. A common treatment for hyperthyroidism is radioactive iodine. This treatment destroys the thyroid. [healthline.com]

Without treatment patients die at birth, otherwise prognosis is excellent with thyroid hormone supplementation (1). Follicular adenoma can occur in thyroids with DG (5). [path.upmc.edu]
Thankfully, the prognosis of thyroid cancer is good for children. If you are a parent of a child who has thyroid disease, the complications can seem alarming. [verywell.com]
A large-scale study is necessary for monitoring therapeutic efficacy and long-term prognosis. [e-kjp.org]
Prognosis [ edit ] Most children born with congenital hypothyroidism and correctly treated with thyroxine grow and develop normally in all respects. [en.wikipedia.org]
Etiology
Sequencing of the PAX8 gene confirms the etiology of this form of RTSH. [endocrinologyadvisor.com]
Unresolved questions The underlying etiology of thyroid dysgenesis remains largely unknown. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Our data in subjects with congenital hypothyroidism of different etiologies, suggest that serum T 9 determina-tions are useful in the differential diagnosis of congeni-tal hypothyroidism before a thyroid scan is performed. [docslide.us]
The etiology can be genetic or environmental, or a combination of both; treatment is based on severity and causality. [icd10data.com]

However, studies have reported a change in the epidemiology, with a doubling in incidence to around 1 in 1500 live newborns. [1, 2] This is thought to be due in part to an increase in congenital hypothyroidism with thyroid gland-in-situ (GIS). [3] Lower [emedicine.medscape.com]

Congenital Hypothyroidism Prevention Although dietary iodide supplementation helps to prevent cretinism and endemic goiter, it does not assist in protecting the child from sporadic CH. [hxbenefit.com]
Introduction Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) occurs in approximately 1 in 4,000 newborns worldwide and is one of the most common causes of preventable mental retardation in children [1]. [alliedacademies.org]
Medicines such as amiodarone, lithium, interferon alpha, and interleukin-2 can prevent the thyroid gland from being able to make hormone normally. [thyroid.org]
It is also one of the most common preventable causes of cognitive and motor deficits. Prevention of CH is based on carrier identification, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. [clinical-and-molecular-endocrinology.imedpub.com]
