Overview
The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic. OR The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
Infants born in regions of the world that lack newborn screening programs are more likely to present with symptoms and signs of congenital hypothyroidism, which include lethargy, hoarse cry, feeding problems, often needing to be awakened to nurse, constipation, puffy (myxedematous) facies, macroglossia, umbilical hernia, large fontanels, hypotonia, dry skin, hypothermia, and prolonged jaundice. A few newborn infants with thyroid dyshormonogenesis have a palpable goiter at presentation, while in others the goiter is discovered later in life.[1]
