Congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism (CHNG) is characterized as resistance to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) causing increased levels of plasma TSH and low levels of thyroid hormone which is essential for early brain development. The neonatal screening can avoid the poor prognosis of hypothyroidism.
