متن کاملThyroxine-binding globulin capacity and concentration evaluated from blood spots on filter-paper in a screening program for neonatal hypothyroidism.
We describe a simple method for evaluating thyroxine-binding globulin capacity and concentration from a single 1-cm blood spot on filter-paper used in a screening program for neonatal hypothyroidism. This method permits prompt diagnosis of about 90% of the infants with thyroxine-binding globulin deficiency in our abnormal low-thyroxine, low-thyrotropin population. There was excellent equivalenc...
