The Clinical Genetics Department within Addenbrooks Hospital offers clinical and laboratory diagnosis which you may want to look at in terms of

  • Resistance to Thyroid Hormone (THRB)
  • Allan Herndon Dudley syndrome (MCT8)
  • Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 (RET)
  • Familial Dysalbuminaemic Hyperthyroxinaemia (FDH)

 

Exeter:

The Exeter Clinical Laboratory at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital offers a number of genetic tests for thyroid conditions listed on the linked page

 

Oxford

Information about the clinical Genetics Department in Oxford University Hospital can be found here
