Abstract excerpt
The autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), comprising Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), appear to develop as a result of a complex interaction between predisposing genes and environmental triggers. The goals of the present study were to identify the susceptibility loci for GD and HT and to study the relationships between them. We performed a whole genome linkage study on a dataset of 56...
