Re: Re: New to group help understanding Thyroid levels

[Guest guest]

I disagree- it can still be genetic- because most people in our grandparents era

did not know what their diseases were caused by because there was not definitive

tests back then. diseases can skip generations before they show up. the human

genome was JUST recently mapped, so we are only learning about factors and other

characteristics that are associated with the compete genome. everyday we find

another gene or genes that are responsible for a disease.

as far as goes she could have had it in her family but it was never

diagnosed and/or skipped generations; OR it could have just started in her and

the possibility of her daughter developing it in the future would be 50-50.

since her daughter has her mom's genes. the daughter could have the genetic

predisposition for the disease but never get it because it may never get

triggered. with it may have been triggered by her experiences with the

vaccines in the army.

the field of genetics is one of the most interesting specialties because it is

totally wide open- where we do not have the complete picture yet of every

disease out there. I love genetics.

Re: New to group help understanding Thyroid levels

Genetics is IMHO only one of the risk factors. I believe being female

is another. I don't know what they all are. Genetics is AFAIK

certainly not the only risk factor.

Since you are the only one in your family to be hypo then I would

suspect there is much less of a chance that yours is genetic; or that

your offspring will have it.
