Thyroid Function in Sibships in Endemic Goiter Region

This conclusion rests on substantial data which may be summarized as foUows: (a) Dietary iodine supply is low in most goiter endemias because of poorly-iodinated soil (Hercus et al, 1925). This situation is found in régions which remained longest under the quaternary glaciers and which lost most of the iodine from their soil when the ice thawed (Merke, 1965; Kelly and Snedden, 1960).
