My daughter was diagnosed with thyroid gland agenesis when she was two weeks old. Thyroid gland agenesis is just a medical way of saying her thyroid gland failed to develop in the womb. Congenital hypothyroidism is a relatively common spectrum of disorders, affecting 1 in 3 to 4 thousand children. Untreated it can have devastating consequences.
