Genetic Test
The TPO gene produces an enzyme that is involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and plays a central role in thyroid function.
Disease Description
This disorder is characterized by a reduced or deficient level of thyroid hormones in the body due to insufficient production by the thyroid gland. The thyroid regulates the growth and activity of many body systems through its hormones, so inadequate hormone secretion can affect intellectual and physical development, energy metabolism, and overall health.
