What hormone causes Graves disease when levels are too high and Cretinism in children when levels are too low?
The hormone involved is thyroid hormone, primarily thyroxine (T4), which is produced by the thyroid gland. In Graves' disease, excessive levels of thyroid hormone lead to hyperthyroidism, causing symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety. Conversely, low levels of thyroid hormone in children can result in cretinism, a condition characterized by severe physical and developmental delays. Proper regulation of thyroid hormone is crucial for normal growth and metabolism.

Those same antibodies can attack other parts of the body with TSH receptors as well, including skin, bone and eyes.
