The main cause of endemic goitre in the Sudan is dietary iodine deficiency. Water samples from four areas [Kass, Kosti, Wad Medani and Omdurman] two of which are known for endemic goitre did not appear to have any goitrogenic effect in our preliminary experiment using porcine thyroid follicle cell preparations.
