| Abstract: | Thyroid function was assessed in ninety children with homozygous sickle-cell disease (haemoglobin genotype SS) in forty-five children with heterozygous sickle-cell trait (AS) and in 162 control children with haemoglobin genotype A A. Serum levels of thyroxine, the invitro triidothyroninc resin uptake and the calculated index of free thyroxine* were not significantly different in the three groups. The distribution of individual thyrotropin (TSII) values showed that only 11% of the HbSS subjects had values below the 95% confidence limits for the HbA A controls. However, the mean level of TSII was significantly lower in the HbSS than the other two groups of children |
