Abstract excerpt
Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is a Class 3 nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent histone deacetylase (HDAC) that is thought to be implicated in the protection against autoimmune diseases. However, an association between SIRT1 and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) has not been reported. In this study, we selected four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SIRT1 gene, rs12049646 T/C (termed SNP1), rs12778366 T/C...
