Background: It is known that subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) often converts to euthyroidism. However, the mechanism of such changes is unclear and can only be speculated. This difficulty is likely due to limitations in diagnostic guidelines and their interpretation.

Background And Purpose: Observational studies have indicated a high occurrence of coexistence between myasthenia gravis (MG) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in clinical settings, but the causal relationship between the two conditions remains ambiguous. Therefore, this study endeavors to investigate the causal links between MG, along with its subgroups, and AITD through a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.

Methods: Genetic instrumental variables associated with MG and AITD were selected from three major publicly available GWAS databases for MR analysis.

The cardiovascular implications of thyroid disease have been recognized as one of the most characteristic signs that result from the effect of thyroid hormone (TH). Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism produce changes in cardiac contractility, myocardial oxygen consumption, cardiac output, blood pressure, and systemic vascular resistance. The bradyarrhythmias, including atrioventricular block and sick sinus syndrome, are exceedingly rare in hyperthyroidism.

Maternal Graves' disease (GD) poses a significant risk to neonatal thyroid function due to the transplacental transfer of thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAbs). This systematic review aims to assess the impact of maternal GD on neonatal thyroid outcomes and identify key maternal factors influencing these outcomes. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane, resulting in the inclusion of 18 studies published from 2014 to 2024.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how thyroid hormones may contribute to coronary atherosclerosis, a leading cause of coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • Utilizing large genetic databases, the research examines various thyroid-related disorders and their potential links to coronary atherosclerosis through Mendelian Randomization techniques.
  • Results indicate that conditions like hypothyroidism and Graves' disease increase the risk of coronary atherosclerosis, while no causal relationship was found between certain thyroid hormones (FT4 and TSH) and the disease.
