Abstract

We report the results of a five-year study of cord blood screening for congenital hypothyroidism in a genetically homegenous population in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism was 1/5061 and is compared to other reports. The prevalence of dyshormonogenesis was 1/7592, higher than in other reports.
