Clinical Insight into Congenital Hypothyroidism Among Children.

Children (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Izmir Faculty of Medicine, University of Health Sciences, 35210 Izmir, Turkey.

Molecular, genetic, and technological advances have led to increased knowledge regarding neonatal thyroid hormone metabolism disorders. Maternal and fetal hypothyroidism, which can cause psychomotor dysfunction syndromes or low IQ levels, can lead to brain damage, reduced fetal growth and incidental fetal death. The treatment of congenital hypothyroidism detected by screening programs performed during the neonatal period provides normalization of growth, IQ levels, and the physical, mental, and motor development of infants.

Thyroid hormone (TH) is essential for brain development in utero and during the first two to three years of life. The negative effects of TH deficiency on brain development are irreversible. Early detection of TH deficiency in neonates (congenital hypothyroidism (CH) through newborn screening (NBS)) allows for early treatment, thereby preventing brain damage.

Newborn screening (NBS) presents an opportunity to identify a subset of babies at birth who are at risk for developmental delays and could benefit from a range of developmental services. Potential developmental services in the United States include Part C Early Intervention (EI), private therapies, and school-based services. Using parent-reported outcomes, this study examined the rates at which a sample of children diagnosed with NBS conditions used each developmental service.

Objectives: Research on neurobehavioral abnormalities in neonates of mothers with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is limited. The link between umbilical cord blood brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and neurobehavioral outcomes in neonates has not been explored. This study investigates the correlation between alterations in umbilical cord blood BDNF levels and early neurobehavioral abnormalities in neonates born to pregnant women with SCH.
