Associations between autoimmune thyroid disease prognosis and functional polymorphisms of susceptibility genes, CTLA4, PTPN22, CD40, FCRL3, and ZFAT, previously revealed in genome-wide association studies.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Genome-wide association studies have revealed several susceptibility genes among patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), including CTLA4, PTPN22, FCRL3, and ZFAT. However, any possible association between these genes and AITD prognosis remains unknown. The objective of this study was to identify associations between polymorphisms of these genes and AITD prognosis. METHODS: We genotyped...
