Abstract excerpt
In this study, we evaluated the A/G(-1661), C/T(-318), A/G49 and A/G6230 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene for association with Graves' disease (GD) in 126 Russian simplex families. The conditional TDT analysis revealed significant overtransmission of the A(-1661)G(-318) haplotype (P = 0.033) and undertransmission of the GT haplotype (P = 0.0043) from...
