CTLA4 gene and Graves’ disease: association of Graves’ disease with the CTLA4 exon 1 and intron 1 polymorphisms, but not with the promoter polymorphism
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have shown that Graves' disease (GD) is linked to and associated with alleles of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) locus. However, the true pathogenic polymorphism(s) at this locus remains uncertain. Moreover, the association studies of the promoter CTLA4(-318)C/T polymorphism in white GD populations have produced conflicting results. Therefore, we have analysed three CTLA4...
