Medical term:

dyshormonogenesis



dyshormonogenesis

A defect in the synthesis of the thyroid hormone thyroxine due to an enzyme failure. The low levels of thyroxine in the blood cause a large output of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the PITUITARY gland and the result is an enlargement of the thyroid gland (goitre).
