Hypothyroidism in Down's syndrome

C Mani
Northgate Hospital, Northumberland, Scotland.

Fifty-five adult Down's syndrome subjects resident at Northgate Hospital were screened for the presence of thyroid dysfunction. Approximately 50% of the subjects had clinical features suggestive of hypothyroidism, sufficient to require thyroid-function tests. Twenty- two per cent of the total suffered from some degree of hypothyroidism, and 16% had positive antibodies to thyroid tissue.
