's association study of CTLA4 and Graves disease, showing how it can be used to dissect the association signal, giving potentially interesting results of allelic heterogeneity and interaction.
(2) Further meta-analysis also showed obesity was clearly associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (RR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.10-3.32, <i>P</i> = 0.022), but not with Graves' disease.
(i) Allele G and G/G genotype confer genetic susceptibility to GD; (ii) CTLA-4A49G polymorphism is not associated with the development of GO; (iii) different non-genetic factors may contribute to GO in different populations.
*642AT(8_33)(AT<sub>16-21</sub>)/CT60(rs3087243)G/Jo31(rs11571302)G/ICOSc.1554+4GT(8_15)(m) and TCA(AT<sub><16</sub>)GT(m) haplotypes increased risk of Graves' disease, especially in males, as well as overall Graves' orbitopathy development with severe outcome.
2) After exclusion of DR3-positive subjects, DQA1*0501 was still significantly increased (GD, 59.7% vs. control 30.6%, P = 0.0012, Pc < 0.01, RR = 3.35) among patients.
Graves' disease (GD) is associated with the histocompatibility leucocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype A*01-B*0801-DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 (or B8/DR3) whereas autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIH) has been weakly associated with HLA DRB1*03, *04 and *11/*12 alleles (or DR3, DR4 and DR5).
Graves' disease (GD) is associated with the histocompatibility leucocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype A*01-B*0801-DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 (or B8/DR3) whereas autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIH) has been weakly associated with HLA DRB1*03, *04 and *11/*12 alleles (or DR3, DR4 and DR5).

Graves' disease (GD) is associated with HLA-DR3 (DRB1*03) in Caucasians, but the exact amino-acid sequence in the DR beta1 chain conferring susceptibility to GD is unknown.
Graves' disease is a common organ-specific autoimmune disease characterized by overstimulation of the thyroid gland with agonistic anti-thyrotropin (TSH) receptor autoantibodies, which leads to hyperthyroidism and diffuse hyperplasia of the thyroid gland.
Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by hyperthyroidism due to the presence of autoantibodies against thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor, which is measured as thyroid-stimulating hormone-binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII).
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism because of autoantibodies that bind to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) on the thyroid gland, triggering thyroid hormone release.
