Retro-prospective, exploratory, single-centre observational study conducted at the Endrocrine-Metabolic Diseases Centre of the Pediatrics Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Italy.
The primary aim is to assess, by NGS sequencing of a panel of target genes, the frequency and type of variants with potential pathogenic significance in a patient population with congenital hypothyroidism and in situ thyroid, born between January 2003 and December 2023 identified through Neontal Screening at the Regional Centre for Neonatal Screening for Endrocrine-Metabolic Diseases, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Italy.
Patients born in Emilia-Romagna region, Italy, between January 2003 and December 2023;
Patients screened at the Regional Neonatal Screening Centre for Endrocrine-Metabolic Diseases, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Bologna, Italy, and recalled for suspected congenital hypothyroidism;
Confirmed diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism and in situ thyroid;
Hormonal and clinical follow-up of at least 36 months at Centre for Endrocrine-Metabolic Diseases, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Bologna, Italy;
None
