Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite great progress, the genetic basis of Graves' disease (GD) remains poorly understood. Recently, a population-based genomewide association study (GWAS) identified five novel loci (ATXN2/SH2B3, MAGI3, BACH2, TPO and KALRN) as significantly associated with the presence of thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (TPOAbs), whereas several other loci showed suggestive association. METHODS: In this study,...
