Impact of maternal hypothyroidism on fetal thyroid gland: a prospective observational study
The results of this study suggest that maternal hypothyroidism may not significantly influence the fetal HPT axis. However, it is important to emphasize that this conclusion is based solely on data from mothers with well-controlled hypothyroidism. Moreover, the small prevalence of overt clinical hypothyroidism should be considered when interpreting this finding.
