Abstract: Iodine deficiency is the most important etiological factor for euthyroid endemic goiter. However, family and twin pair studies also indicate a genetic predisposition for euthyroid simple goiter. [edoc.mdc-berlin.de]

Besides iodine deficiency as the most important etiological factor (2), environmental factors, age, and sex, a genetic predisposition for goiter development could also be observed. [academic.oup.com]
