Abstract
The autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), including Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), are caused by interactions between susceptibility genes and environmental triggers. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Solute carrier family 22, member 4 (SLC22A4) have been shown to be associated with several autoimmune diseases, including Crohn's disease (CD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study is to investigate whether SNP rs3792876 in the SLC22A4 gene is associated with GD, HT and AITD in a Chinese Han population. In this study, we collected specimens from 553 Chinese Han individuals of 92 AITD pedigrees in 10 cities in Liaoning province, China (80 GD pedigrees, 478 members; 12 HT pedigrees, 75 members). SNP rs3792876 was genotyped using the TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium tests were performed among founders of the pedigrees using Haploview software. Family-based association tests performed using FBAT software. No deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed (p > 0.05). There were not significant association between the SLC22A4 gene polymorphism (rs3792876) and GD, HT and AITD was found. These results suggest a lack of association between the SLC22A4 gene ...Continue Reading
