Abstract excerpt
The physical and/or electrical properties of the peptide-binding pockets of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class II molecules vary depending on their amino acid sequence, influencing peptide-binding affinity. Previous studies have reported associations between HLA-DRB1 amino acid polymorphisms and susceptibility to Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's disease (HD). We hypothesized that polymorphisms in the...
