Abstract
Details of clinical and laboratory findings, including the results of radioactive iodine studies, are presented in the case of a mongol in whom thyrotoxicosis developed. Search of the literature indicates that such a coincidence is unique. Similar investigations in 4 additional mongols who were euthyroid are summarized. No evidence for an endocrine basis for mongolism, namely pituitary or thyroid deficiency, was found.Keywords
