Congenital anomalies associated with hypothyroidism

J S Bamforth et al. Arch Dis Child. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

Seven of the 34 infants identified through the Welsh Hypothyroid Screening Programme have additional congenital abnormalities. Two infants have a previously undescribed syndrome, two have chromosomal abnormalities, two have congenital heart disease, and one has a myelomeningocoele. Congenital hypothyroidism often seems to be associated with other congenital abnormalities.
