Abstract

In the last decade a high frequency of other congenital anomalies has been reported in infants with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) detected by neonatal screening. In the present study the occurrence of additional congenital malformations (CM) in the population of CH infants detected in Italy between 1991 and 1998 (n = 1420) was investigated. In Italy all of the centers in charge of screening, treatment, and follow-up of CH adhere to the Italian National Registry of infants with CH. In this study a high prevalence of additional CM (8.4%), more than 4-fold higher than that reported in the Italian population (1-2%), was found in the population of CH infants. Cardiac anomalies represented the most frequent malformations associated with CH, with a prevalence of 5.5%. However, a significant association between CH and anomalies of nervous system, eyes, and multiple CM was also observed. In conclusion, the significantly higher frequency of extrathyroidal congenital malformations reported in the CH infants than in the general population represents a further argument supporting the role of a genetic component in the etiology of CH. Investigations of the molecular mechanisms underlying developmental events of formation of thyroid and other organs represent critical steps in the knowledge of CH etiology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
