The studies suggest that autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimotos thyroiditis and Graves' disease may be associated with prenatal exposure to sex hormones. A higher 2D:4D ratio is considered indicative of greater prenatal estrogen exposure, whereas a lower ratio reflects higher testosterone exposure. Individuals with Hashimoto's thyroiditis were found to have significantly higher 2D:4D ratios compared to healthy controls, while those with Graves' disease had lower ratios. Differences in the right-hand 2D:4D ratio were more pronounced than those in the left hand. One study also found a positive correlation between morphological femininity and the severity of Hashimoto's disease, as measured by TPOAb levels. These findings indicate that hormonal influences during prenatal and adolescent periods may have lasting effects on the immune system and thyroid function.
