Genetic and Environmental Causes of Individual Differences in Thyroid Size: A Study of Healthy Danish Twins

1 May 2004

Abstract excerpt

Factors such as iodine intake, serum TSH concentration, gender, age, body mass index, parity, and cigarette smoking are thought to influence thyroid size. The purpose of our study was to determine the relative roles of these environmental and physiological factors compared with genetic factors in euthyroid subjects with a clinically normal thyroid gland. A representative sample of self-reported healthy twin pairs...
