Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elevations or deficits in thyroid hormone levels are responsible for a wide range of neonatal and adult phenotypes. Several genome-wide, candidate gene, and meta-analysis studies have examined thyroid hormones in adults; however, to our knowledge, no genetic association studies have been performed with neonatal thyroid levels. METHODS: A population of Iowa neonates, term (n = 827) and preterm (n =...
