Back to Top Causes. Hypothyroidism in the newborn may be caused by: 1  A missing or poorly developed thyroid gland. 2  A pituitary gland that does not stimulate the thyroid gland. 3  Thyroid hormones that are poorly formed or do not work.
Causes Of Hypothyroidism Can Be Genetic/Hereditary. Although iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide, getting enough iodine is not usually a problem in the United States. Here hypothyroidism is usually caused by hereditary diseases, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and thyroid cancer. Hashimoto's thyroiditis affects up to 10 million people in the United States, including an estimated 10% of women over 30. Hashimoto's thyroiditis can result in hypothyroidism because the body's immune system attacks the thyroid gland. This can cause the thyroid to create less hormone. Other inherited diseases which increase the likelihood of hypothyroidism include type 1 diabetes, Addison's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
