This is not an inherited disease and the principle causes are still unknown.

A diagnosis of Thyroid Eye Disease itself is made with laboratory assessment of T3 and T4. These levels are reduced in patients who have hypothyroidism and elevated in those with thyrotoxicosis. TSH level should also be drawn; it is usually reduced for hyperthyroid patients and elevated in hypothyroid patients. In addition, the presence of thyroid autoantibodies may be found in affected patients.
