Article Synopsis
- Congenital thyroid dyshormonogenesis (CHD) in newborns results from disrupted thyroid hormone synthesis, often due to hereditary mutations, particularly in the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) enzyme gene.
- A study involving 12 Chilean patients with CHD found two possibly pathogenic mutations in the TPO gene, affecting 16.6% of the participants.
- Findings from this work could facilitate genetic counseling for families impacted by this condition, given the genetic basis of some cases.

Stress plays a pivotal role in modulating the inflammatory response and aggravating progression. Different studies have shown that fasting reduces inflammation markers, and intermittent fasting decreases inflammatory markers such as IL-2, IL-6, and RCP.
