Permanent primary congenital hypothyroidism (CH) can be caused by abnormal thyroid differentiation (athyreosis), migration (ectopy), or function (leading to goiter). Goiters follow an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance, whereas ectopy and athyreosis are considered as a single sporadic entity with a female preponderance.
