Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome - what does this mean

Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome is a condition caused by a lack of iodine in the body during fetal development. this can lead to impaired physical and mental development, hearing loss, and various other health problems. it is most common in areas where iodine is not present in the soil or water, making it difficult for pregnant women to get enough iodine in their diet.

What happens during the disease - congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome
