Age-related changes in thyroid function: a longitudinal study of a community-based cohort.

TL;DR: Aging is associated with increased serum TSH concentrations, with no change in free T(4) concentrations, and the largest TSH increase is in people with the lowest TSH at baseline, which suggests that the T SH increase arises from age-related alteration in the TSH set point or reduced TSH bioactivity rather than occult thyroid disease.

Identification of Novel Genetic Loci Associated with Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies and Clinical Thyroid Disease

Marco Medici, +117 more
TL;DR: The results provide insight into why individuals with thyroid autoimmunity do or do not eventually develop thyroid disease, and these markers may therefore predict which TPOAb-positives are particularly at risk of developing clinical thyroid dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Importance of Measuring Ionized Calcium in Characterizing Calcium Status and Diagnosing Primary Hyperparathyroidism

TL;DR: In abnormal calcium states, tCa frequently disagrees with iCa in classifying calcium status, and Measurement of iCa is required to accurately assess calcium status and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Loci Linked to Pituitary-Thyroid Axis Set Points: A Genome-Wide Scan of a Large Twin Cohort

TL;DR: This study has identified eight genomic locations with linkage of LOD of 2.0 or greater that should enable targeted positional candidate and positional cloning studies to advance the understanding of genetic control of the pituitary-thyroid axis.
