A: Sex comparison; B: Age group distribution; C: Comparison of thyroid function; D: Genotype profile, including homozygous, heterozygous, and compound heterozygous variants, and their distribution across Yunnan province; E: Ethnic composition of the cohort and the geographical distribution of ethnic groups within Yunnan; F: Distribution of patients from 15 distinct geographical regions and the geographical distribution of the cohort in Yunnan. aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01. M: Male; F: Female.
