Twelve infertile women with thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)-negative nongoitrous SH were referred to our department of endocrinology between September 2007 and September 2015.
She had positive anti-thyroglobulin antibodies and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies with slightly elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (9.048 μU/mL), and was diagnosed as chronic thyroiditis with subclinical hypothyroidism before nivolumab therapy.
Disruption of the RAP gene in mice results in a reduced Tg content within the colloid, leading to subclinical hypothyroidism and histological alterations resembling early goiter.
There was a consanguineous marriage in the parents of the siblings, and the mother of the patients had a normal serum free T4 level, but slightly increased serum TSH and thyroglobulin levels, indicating subclinical hypothyroidism.
