Evaluation of the etiology of subclinical hypothyroidism in children
In our study, idiopathic cases were the most frequently identified in the etiology of SH. It is important to determine whether there is autoimmune thyroiditis. In cases of idiopathic SH, it is recommended to perform <i>TSHR</i> gene analysis, particularly in the presence of positive family history and newborn screening results. This approach will help elucidate the underlying etiology.
