Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Genetic risk factors play a major role in the pathoetiology of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). So far, only common risk variants have been identified in AITD susceptibility genes. Recently, rare genetic variants have emerged as important contributors to complex diseases, and we hypothesized that rare variants play a key role in the genetic susceptibility to AITD. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify new...
