Autosomal dominant Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with a mutation in TNFAIP3

Abstract excerpt

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disease thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, but its detailed pathogenesis is unknown. We present a family with haploinsufficiency of the gene encoding tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3, also known as A20) and show a link with HT in a three-generation pedigree. Currently, TNFAIP3 polymorphisms are associated with...
