    ABSTRACT: Thyroid diseases are common and highly heritable. We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from 19 biobanks for five thyroid diseases: thyroid cancer (ThC), benign nodular goiter, Graves' disease, lymphocytic thyroiditis and primary hypothyroidism. We analyzed genetic association data from ~2.9 million genomes and identified 313 known and 570 new independent loci linked to thyroid diseases. We discovered genetic correlations between ThC, benign nodular goiter and autoimmune thyroid diseases (rg = 0.16-0.97). Telomere maintenance genes contributed to benign and malignant thyroid nodular disease risk, whereas cell cycle, DNA repair and damage response genes were associated with ThC. We propose a paradigm that explains genetic predisposition to benign

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Screening

  • Baseline thyroid function testing Moderate

    rs10758516 T allele increases hypothyroidism risk through altered GLIS3-AS1 expression in thyroid tissue; early detection enables prompt treatment

    Request TSH and free T4 testing from your doctor if not done in past 12 months

  • Periodic thyroid function monitoring Moderate

    Elevated hypothyroidism risk from T allele requires ongoing surveillance for TSH elevation or symptom emergence

    Repeat TSH and free T4 testing every 1-2 years after baseline assessment
