The development of Graves' disease and the CTLA-4 gene on chromosome 2q33.
- Abstract:
-
Case-control studies suggest that the CTLA-4 gene may be a susceptibility locus for Graves' disease. The previously reported A/G polymorphism at position 49 in exon 1 of the CTLA-4 gene was, therefore, investigated in a case-control (n = 743) and family-based (n = 179) dataset of white Caucasian subjects with Graves' disease. The relationship between CTLA-4 genotype and severity of thyroid dysfunction at diagnosis was also investigated. An increase in frequency of the G (alanine) allele was s...
