Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to unveil the association of GPR174 rs3827440, PTPN22 rs3789604, and RNASET2 rs9355610 with the onset of liver damage (LD) among the Graves' disease (GD) patients. METHODS: A total of 120 GD patients were divided into the none-LD and LD groups. Several indicators were detected for assessing liver functions, and genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were...
