Lack of an association between alleles of interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist genes and Graves' disease in a North American Caucasian population.

Abstract excerpt

Although an association between the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele DR3 and Graves' disease (GD) is well documented, the potential role of non-HLA-linked alleles in susceptibility to GD is an area of active investigation. In an attempt to study the potential role of two non-HLA susceptibility alleles in GD and Graves' ophthalmopathy, we examined 286 North American Caucasian individuals (145 normal controls...
