Familial hyperthyroidism – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/61887254

A familial condition where the thyroid gland produces and secretes excessive amounts of the free (not protein bound, and circulating in the blood) thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and/or thyroxine (T4). Familial hyperthyroidism includes hereditary hyperthyroidism due to mutations in TSH receptor or selective pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone.
