Preferred Label : Hypothyroidism, congenital, nongoitrous, 2;

Symbol : CHNG2;

CISMeF acronym : CHNG2; RTSH;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Thyroid hypoplasia; Thyroid, ectopic; Athyreotic hypothyroidism; RTSH; Hypothyroidism, athyreotic; Thyroid dysgenesis; Thyroid agenesis; Hypothyroidism, congenital, due to thyroid dysgenesis; Thyrotropin resistance; Resistance to thyrotropin;

Description : In 80 to 85% of cases, congenital hypothyroidism is associated with, and presumably is a consequence of, thyroid dysgenesis (Macchia et al., 1998). In these cases, the thyroid gland can be absent (agenesis), ectopically located, and/or severely reduced in size (hypoplasia). When thyroid hormone therapy is not initiated within the first 2 months of life, congenital hypothyroidism can cause severe neurologic, mental, and motor damage (cretinism).;
