Any experience with abnormal thyroid levels?

[Heide]

Our 10 month old daughter (BCLP)has recently had one blood test with abnormal thyroid levels and another with elevated calcium, has anyone else had this, we are being referred to an endocrinologist but I was wondering if this may be connected genetically with the cleft situation. any info is appreciated. thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

DiGeorge Sequence/Syndrome is related with both cleft lips/palates and abnormal thyroid/calcium levels. However, this syndrome almost always involves characteristic facial appearances and heart defects. So, pretty sure your daughter does not have that. I am unaware of any other syndrome, which involves both defects.

Hope to Help!

Dear Lisa, thank you for your information. Our daughter has not been diagnosed with any heart issues but is slow in gaining weight which is prompting all the blood work. Hopefully, it will all turn out well. I wish to extend sympathy to you and your family on your loss of baby Zoey. I can't imagine how you are handling it and hope that as time passes the pain does too. Heide.
