Thyroid disorders are genetic.
I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease (overactive thyroid) 3 years ago.
It was found to be on my fathers side. His mother has an overactive thyroid. All the women in the family have the disease, while all the men are carriers.
If you are a woman and need to be tested for a thyroid disease - you need to have TSH, FT3 and FT4 (blood tests), while men are tested for TSH, T3 and T4.
The F stands for Free, this being that our levels are different to that of a mans because of our hormones, therefore when testing you need to be tested for Free T3 and 4 levels as these will give the most accurate readings.
It is an auto-immune disease.
People with overactive thyroids have too much iron and people with underactive thyroids have too little iron.
Hope this helps.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you’re unlikely to be able to feel it.
All types of hyperthyroidism are due to overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can develop in several ways.
Thyroid hormone production can be suppressed or halted completely in these ways: https://tr.im/hRqmV

Yes, if there is a family history, you may want to get a complete thyroid panel done, not the standard test.
