Brief Summary

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a rare disease that affects 1 in 3500 newborn. This condition is detected consistently since the late 1970s in France, which has led to early care and a significant improvement in prognosis and intellectual stature of these children. However neurodevelopmental disorders persist in 10-15% of cases. More associated diseases have been reported in approximately 10% of cases. These observations are in most cases poorly understood. The family nature of the CH is now well recognized and a dozen genes involved up to now. However, in the majority of cases (HC not due to a disorder of the organification of iodine), few mutations have been found in the reported number of patients (5-10%), suggesting the involvement of other genes. Some of the genes have been implicated in particular specific syndromic forms but many pathological associations remain unexplained. Also, a more complete genetic elucidation of CH would enable a better understanding of its etiology and thus its risk of familial recurrence (frequently asked questions by parents of children with CH) and secondly the presence of associated pathologies. Main goal: to describe the population with CH (not due to a disorder of the organification of iodine) not only on clinical, biological and radiological (phenotypic analysis) but also on the genetic level to establish a genotype / phenotype correlation.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \- Patient: newborn (0-27 days) or infant (28 days 23 months), or child or adult with congenital hypothyroidism (that is to say with a TSH \> 15 mU / ml at screening on filter paper and / or plasma TSH\> 10 mU / ml) diagnosed in the first months of life, whatever their age, sex, weight and size.
  • Subjects with blood levels of free thyroid hormones (FT3 and FT4) in the standards will be described as having subclinical hypothyroidism.
  • If treatment with L-thyroxine could be stopped without relapse (that is to say, always with a TSH \<5 mU / ml with different controls), hypothyroidism is said to be transient, whatever the age of discontinuation of treatment.
  • No pre or neonatal goitre by palpation or ultrasound thyroid
  • negative perchlorate test (ie decreased rate of iodine captation \<10% at 2h injection of perchlorate) when the thyroid gland in place
  • No self-immunity known to thyroid in children with and / or his mother (defined by a antithyroperoxidase antibodies and / or antithyroglobulin)
  • Signature of free and informed consent by the patient or his legal representative
  • Affiliation or enjoying a social security system

You may not qualify if:

  • Presence of markers antithyroid autoimmunity in children and / or mother (antithyroperoxidase antibodies and / or antithyroglobulin)
  • Pre or neonatal goiter on palpation or ultrasound thyroid
  • Test positive perchlorate (ie salting rate of iodine\> 10% at 2 injection perchlorate)
  • Patients of foreign origin returned to their country will be excluded from the study.
