TL;DR: More than adequate or excessive iodine intake may lead to hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis in cohorts from three regions with different levels of iodine intake.

TL;DR: Evaluated whether the status of iodine nutrition influences the TSH concentration in a selected Chinese reference population according to the criteria proposed by National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry and regular thyroid ultrasonography to establish a new reference interval of TSH based on the wide variation of iodinenutrition in populations.

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence for a susceptibility locus for Graves' disease on chromosome 5q31 and support the existence of genetic heterogeneity in GD.

TL;DR: Subclinical hyperthyroidism is more prevalent in the iodine deficient area than in the severe iodine excessive area, and in the area with mild iodine deficiency, the introduction of universal salt iodization may not be accompanied by an increased incidence of hyper thyroidroidism.

TL;DR: The relationship between iodine and the risk for the occurrence of diffuse goiter shows a U-shaped curve and nodular goiters are more prevalent in iodine-deficient areas.
