Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis is necessary for the maintenance of self-tolerance by eliminating autoreactive immune cells in the periphery. To clarify the association between the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and genes encoding apoptosis regulatory factors, we genotyped the FAS -1377G/A, -670A/G, FASL -844C/T, TRAIL -716C/T, BCL2 -938C/A, +127G/A, TNFR1 -383A/C and TNFR2 +676T/G polymorphisms. The frequencies of...
