Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested an association between alleles of the CYP27B1 (1-alpha hydroxylase) gene and autoimmune conditions. We have examined three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are located in the 5' region and promoter of the CYP27B1 gene for association in a cohort of Graves' disease and autoimmune Addison's disease subjects from the UK. Genomic DNA samples from white patients with...
