Abstract

We and others have described previously a polymorphism at the first position of codon 52 (C52 --> A52) of the human thyrotropin receptor (hTSHr) gene. To determine its potential significance, we studied female (n = 100) and male (n = 25) patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (Graves' disease, n = 91; Hashimoto's thyroiditis, n = 34) and normal individuals [n = 121, female (n = 69), male (n = 52)]. Screening was performed using AciI restriction enzyme digestions of PCR-amplified genomic DNA. All codon 52 polymorphisms were verified by direct DNA sequencing. Data were analyzed using Chi-square or Fisher exact tests and p-values were corrected for multiple comparisons. Our studies demonstrated that this polymorphism is highly associated with autoimmune thyroid disease in the female population (corrected p = 0.008). We found no such association in the male population. Within females, there was a greater association between Graves' disease and the polymorphism (corrected p = 0.017) than between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the polymorphism (corrected p = 0.090). The polymorphism was present in a higher proportion of Graves' disease patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy and pretibial dermopathy (40%) or Graves' ophthalmopathy, preti...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.
