Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An absence of thyroid hormones during fetal development can lead to congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism), which can cause irreversible mental retardation and physical stunting if left untreated. Acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, Graves' disease, and Addison's disease are all caused by different hormonal imbalances and not specifically related to an absence of thyroid hormones during fetal development.
