1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have critical roles in preventing autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Forkhead box P3 (Foxp3), the master transcription factor of Tregs, plays a pivotal role in Treg function. OBJECTIVE: Herein, we investigated the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the Foxp3 gene with HT development. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN: A total of 129 HT...
