1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to examine the polymorphism in the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) gene and its relationship with autoimmune thyroid disease in Koreans. Polymorphism in the promoter and exon 1 of CTLA-4, clinical symptoms of disease and thyrotropin receptor antibody (TSHRAb) characteristics were analyzed. Polymorphism was detected using restriction fragment length polymorphism and...
