Sophia Kinderziekenhuis Afdeling Kinder- en Jeugdpsychiatrie/psychogie Woensdag 29 januari 2014 16.00 – 17.00 uur Colloquium Kinder- en Jeugdpsychiatrie/psychologie “Impact of Mild Thyroid Hormone Deficiency in Pregnancy on Cognition and Behaviour of Children” Akhgar Ghassabian, MD PhD Postdoctoral researcher, Kinder- en Jeugdpsychiatrie/psychologie ErasmusMC-Sophia Maternal thyroid hormones are crucial for normal brain development in early stages of foetal life. Children born to mothers with untreated overt thyroid hormone deficiency in pregnancy are at increased risk of impaired cognitive development. There is overwhelming evidence that mild forms of thyroid hormone deficiency in pregnancy, once considered to be without consequences for the child, also impacts normal brain development of the offspring. Moreover, small retrospective studies of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders point to the behavioural consequences of such insult in prenatal life. In this symposium , Dr. Akhgar Ghassabian will talk about her research in the Generation R cohort, and will present the main findings of her work on behavioural and cognitive outcomes of the children exposed to mild maternal thyroid hormone deficiency in pregnancy.
