The pathogenesis of Graves' disease

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America
B McIver, J C Morris

Abstract

Graves' disease, one of the autoimmune thyroid diseases, is caused by the production of IgG autoantibodies directed against the thyrotropin receptor. These antibodies bind to and activate the receptor, causing the autonomous production of thyroid hormones. Despite recent improvements in our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of autoimmunity, our currently available treatments for Graves' disease have remained largely unchanged over the last 50 years. Nevertheless, new concepts in immune system regulation hold out the prospect in the future for intervention designed to modify, and possibly cure, the underlying disease process.

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.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
