Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cretinism is a byproduct of neonatal hypothyroidism. It is a condition where there is a lack of thyroid hormone during the neonatal period, leading to stunted growth, intellectual disability, and physical deformities. Elevated BMR (A) and elevated body temperature (B) are not associated with hypothyroidism, but rather with hyperthyroidism. Grave's disease (C) is not a byproduct of neonatal hypothyroidism, but rather an autoimmune disease that results in hyperthyroidism. Type I diabetes mellitus (E) is not related to hypothyroidism.
