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...

Individuals on levothyroxine have higher hads anxiety and depression scores than the general population and this is exacerbated by the THR92ALA substitution in DIO2, particularly at higher doses

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...

Background: Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) measurement is the diagnostic cornerstone for primary thyroid dysfunction. There is high inter-individual, but limited intra-individual variation in TSH concentrations, largely due to genetic factors. The currently used wide population-based reference intervals may lead to inappropriate management decisions.Methods: A polygenic score (PGS) including 59 genetic variants was used to calculate genetically-...
