Investigations of an association between Graves disease (GD) and the IL-4 gene have yielded conflicting results. We performed a case-control study of IL-4 gene polymorphisms possibly associated with GD, as well as a meta-analysis of other such studies. We genotyped IL-4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2243250 and rs2243289 in 220 unrelated children with GD and 904 healthy controls. No significant...
