Notable cases
Former U.S. President George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara Bush were both diagnosed with Graves disease and goitres, within two years of each other. The disease caused hyperthyroidism and cardiac dysrhythmia. Scientists said that, absent an environmental cause, the odds of both a husband and wife having Graves disease might be 1 in 100,000 or as low as 1 in 3,000,000. Heraldry
