Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies using microsatellite markers near or in the TSH receptor (TSHR) gene revealed significant association between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in Japanese patients and TSHR microsatellite alleles. In the present study, we performed a case-control analysis of AITD using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spaced 3-50 kb apart spanning the TSHR gene. We observed significant associations...
