Association of the TSHR gene with Graves' disease: The first disease specific locus
- Abstract:
-
The development of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is associated with autoantibodies directed against the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). Previous studies have failed to demonstrate a consistent association between the TSHR and AITD, or any of its sub-phenotypes. In the present study, we analysed the linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure encompassing the TSHR, to identify LD 'blocks' and SNPs, which capture the majority of intra-block haplotype diversity. The haplotype tagging ...
