Brief Summary: This study investigated genetic factors influencing normal variation in TSH levels (range 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L) through a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 247,107 European ancestry individuals. It identified 260 independent sentinel variants, of which 158 are novel. These variants explained 22.8% of TSH variance within the adult reference interval, implicating 112 putative causal genes, 76 of which had not been previously linked to TSH regulation...
