Mice homozygous for the autosomal-recessive gene hypothyroid (hyt) had congenital hypothyroidism of fetal onset after 15 days postconception. Neonatalhyt/hytmice had reduced serum thyroxine ranging from 1/5 to 1/6 of normal as well as significantly delayed somatic and behavioral development. Delayed somatic development included retarded eye opening and ear raising, and reduced body length and body weight. Thehyt/hytanimals compared to their normal littermates demonstrated delayed reflexive behavior and abnormal motor and adaptive behavior. The somatic and behavioral measures clearly distinguishedhyt/hytanimals from their normal littermates even without T4 determination. The somatic and reflexive behavioral abnormalities in thehyt/hytmouse were similar to other rodent models of human congenital hypothyroidism. Thehyt/hytmouse provided an ideal model for exploring the effect of severe primary inherited hypothyroidism related to deficient autonomous fetal thyroid function and was consistent with the hypothesis that thyroid hormone deficit in utero and in the early neonatal period significantly altered functional development.
