I have a question. If a husband and wife
wishes to have children, and the wife has
thyroid and the husband's mum has thyroid,
how likely is the children of this husband
and wife to have the same illness?
Would appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks!

It all depends on the genetic dominance.
It would be more likely in this case since
both husband and wife have histories or
thyroid problems, but it impossible to
tell who would or wouldn't have the
problem, or if it showed up at all.

hi...both grandparents on my maternal
side, as well as my mother have thyroid
problems. I do too...I have 2 siblings
and neither one have it. I have 2
children, ages 3 and 6 weeks. They are
both too young as of yet to know if they
have it.
