Congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism) is a result of an absence of thyroid hormones during fetal development. This condition can lead to severe developmental delays, intellectual disability, and other physical abnormalities. Acromegaly is caused by excess growth hormone, Cushing's syndrome is caused by excess cortisol, Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder where the thyroid gland produces too much hormone, and Addison's disease is caused by adrenal insufficiency.
