A member asked:
Mother has had thyroid problems (hyper then hypo)- im always cold!- and have recently gained weight. what are the odds of heredity for thyroid (%-wise?

Focus up: More important that genetics is the fact that you're showing signs of under active thyroid. Your doctor can check that with a simple blood panel of thyroid-related hormones including tsh, and t3/t4 variants. Don't delay.
