Graves' disease is a condition characterized by hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), and exophthalmos (bulging eyes). Cretinism is a condition caused by congenital hypothyroidism, Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, and thyrotoxicosis is a general term for a thyroid gland that is producing too much thyroid hormone, but it does not necessarily include the characteristic symptoms of Graves' disease.
