Project Outline: Selection of all Caucasian patients with hypothyroidism without a secondary cause of surgical removal or radiological ablation. The search is designed to eliminate subclinical hypothyroidism (by requiring that patients be on a replacement medication), medication-induced hypothyroidism (e.g., PTU, lithium, or history of amiodarone), and transient causes (e.g., pregnancy or subacute thyroiditis).
