STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) is an important cellular effector in the Jak/STAT signaling pathway, which plays a pivotal role in human immune system regulation, mediating the effect of different cytokines. In the present study, we assessed the correlation between STAT3 polymorphisms (rs3816769 C>T and rs744166 A>G) and risk of the autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) Hashimoto's...
