Linkage Analysis of Candidate Genes in Autoimmune Thyroid Disease. II. Selected Gender-Related Genes and the X-Chromosome
1998-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and Graves’ disease (GD) are autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) in which multiple genetic factors are suspected to play an important role. Until now, only a few minor risk factors for these diseases have been identified. Susceptibility seems to be stronger in women, pointing toward a possible role for genes related to sex steroid action or mechanisms related to genes on the X-chromosom...
