Which risk significantly increases when thyroxine feedback disruption occurs?

💡 Explanation

Lack of inhibition in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis via thyroxine causes unchecked TSH secretion, causing goiter or hypothyroidism. This is due to blunted **negative feedback**, because sustained TSH output elevates thyroid tissue mass rather than suppressing it under normal control.
