Abstract excerpt
The HLA-DQB1* region exhibits complex associations with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). AITD patients (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, HT = 180; Graves' disease, GD = 55) and age/sex matched controls (n = 235) were genotyped for DQB1* alleles by PCR-SSP. Alleles DQB1*02:02, *06:03, *06:09, *03:02, and *03:03 showed an increased risk and *02:01, *05:02, and *06:02 showed a protection toward AITD. Multiple sequence...
