Is thyroid disease genetic

2018-09-10 12:35:10
Thyroid is one disease that’s common to almost every middle-aged member of my family. This led me to wonder if it’s possible that this disease be genetic and not necessarily out of nutrient imbalance. So can a doctor tell me if thyroid disease is genetic? Highly interested in detailed and informative responses!
