Abstract excerpt
Aim: Inherent variations in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles have been revealed epidemiologically to influence the development of autoimmune diseases. HLA alleles may thus also be associated with the development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as thyroid irAE.Materials & methods: In this case-control study, 71 cancer patients who received immune checkpoint inhibitors were enrolled and...
