Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A large proportion of healthy, euthyroid, nongoitrous individuals have thyroid nodules. The aetiology of these ultrasonographically detected morphological abnormalities is largely unknown. Factors such as age, gender, iodine intake, smoking and parity are associated with nodularity of the thyroid. Whether there is a genetic susceptibility is unclear. AIM: To gain insight into the aetiology of thyroid...
