The thyroid is the first endocrine gland to develop during embryonic life and to be recognizable in humans. Thyroid development and maturation can be divided into 2 phases: a first phase of embryogenesis and a second phase of folliculogenesis and differentiation with thyroid hormone production at the final steps. Regulation of the thyroid function requires normal development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, which occurs during the embryonic and neonatal period. Defects in any of steps of thyroid development, differentiation, and regulation lead to permanent CH. Newborn screening programs, established in only one-third of countries worldwide, detect CH and are cost-effective and highly sensitive and specific.
