TL;DR: Pregnancy is associated with a greater thyroidal risk in women with TA, thereby emphasizing a potential link between pregnancy and thyroid disorders and it is recommended that patients with known, even subtle, thyroid abnormalities be closely monitored during pregnancy.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a second sample for congenital hypothyroidism screening at 14 d of age should be considered for all same-sex twins, and thyroid dysgenesis generally results from epigenetic phenomena, early somatic mutations, or postzygotic stochastic events.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, contrary to the situation observed in physiological conditions, maternal thyroid function in regions of severe endemic goiter is a good indicator of newborn thyroid function.

TL;DR: A low iodine supply in newborn populations was accompanied by an elevated frequency of transient disorders of thyroid function in young infants, which explained the marked regional differences in iodine nutrition during the neonatal period in Europe.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the effects of relative iodine deficiency on thyroid function are superimposed on and mask the physiologic state of tertiary hypothyroidism in prematurity in Belgium.
