Study Pinpoints Over 100 Genes Linked to Thyroid Conditions

A new study analyzes the genomes of nearly 250,000 people of European ancestry to identify genes that may affect thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and therefore, people’s thyroid disease risk. The findings could allow doctors to predict who is most at risk of developing the conditions and help them make beneficial lifestyle changes.
