Abstrakt: Purpose: Levothyroxine supplementation is insufficient for the management of one tenth of patients with hypothyroidism. Iodothyronine deiodinases have been suggested to play a role in residual hypothyroid symptoms of these patients by controlling local thyroid hormone homeostasis. Previous research has suggested a relationship between commonly inherited variations in type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase and impaired well-being. We evaluated the prevalence of iodothyronine deiodinase genotypes and their association with psychological well-being in the Korean hypothyroid population. Methods: A prospective observational study. We enrolled 196 hypothyroid subjects (136 chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and 60 thyroid cancer) and assessed baseline well-being using six validated questionnaires. Genotyping was conducted for 19 single nucleotide polymorphisms in type 1, 2, and 3 iodothyronine deiodinase using Sequenom MassARRAY matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in all patients. Results: Frequencies of iodothyronine deiodinase genotypes and well-being scores were not different in hypothyroid subjects according to their disease types. Minor genotypes of a few iodothyronine deiodinase 1 variants (rs11206244, rs2294512, and rs4926616) were associated with reduced psychological well-being. However, iodothyronine deiodinase 2 and 3 variants had no effect on baseline well-being. Conclusion: Minor variations in iodothyronine deiodinase 1 were associated with decreased well-being in the Korean hypothyroid population, whereas iodothyronine deiodinase 2 and 3 were not. Due to controversial results among different ethnicities, further studies to clarify the effects of iodothyronine deiodinase polymorphisms on psychological well-being are warranted in hypothyroid individuals.
