Introduction: Around 15% of people diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism remain significantly symptomatic despite TSH normalisation with levothyroxine (LT4). The Thr92Ala substitution (rs225014) in a key deiodinase that activates T4 to T3, DIO2 may influence tissue levels of T3 but previous studies have been inconsistent regarding symptoms on LT4 and the presence of this polymorphism.Methods: We assessed HADS anxiety and depression scores in the HUNT2 st...

Context: Approximately 15% of people with hypothyroidism remain symptomatic despite treatment. The Thr92Ala substitution in DIO2, may influence T3 tissue levels.Methods: We assessed HADS anxiety and depression scores in HUNT2 in 50,901 individuals (6,687 homozygous for Thr92Ala) of whom 1,480 had a history of levothyroxine use (180 homozygous for Thr92Ala). Anxiety and depression caseness (score>=8) by levothyroxine and Thr92Ala status was a...
