Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome, myxoedematous type - what does this mean
Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome, myxoedematous type is a rare condition caused by an inherited defect in the body's ability to transport iodine, resulting in deficient levels of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) and abnormal development of the thyroid gland. this can cause a wide range of physical and mental symptoms, including facial swelling, mental retardation, and growth deficiencies.
What happens during the disease - congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome, myxoedematous type
Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome, myxoedematous type is a condition caused by a deficiency of iodine in the body during fetal development. this deficiency leads to an inability of the thyroid gland to produce adequate amounts of hormones, which can result in symptoms such as delayed physical and mental development, hypothyroidism, and myxedema. the lack of iodine can also lead to an increased risk of goiter, which is an enlargement of the thyroid gland.
