Compared with controls, the frequency of haplotype CCA in AITD patients was higher than that in controls (<i>p</i> = 0.036), but the frequency of haplotype CTA in AITD and HT patients was lower than that in controls (<i>p</i> = 0.046; <i>p</i> = 0.047 respectively).
Possible associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) and B lymphocyte kinase (BLK) of the type 1 IFN-related signalling pathway with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in an ethnic Chinese (ie Taiwanese) population were tested.
The distribution of GPC5, B9D2, and ASB11 CNVs in AITD patients and controls was significantly different, and high urinary iodine levels and GPC5 CNVs are risk factors for AITD.
Recently, three predictive scores in the field of Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (AITD) have been introduced: The Thyroid Hormones Event Amsterdam-THEA score: a predictive score of the development of overt AITD, the Graves' Events After Therapy-GREAT score: a prediction score for the risk of recurrence after antithyroid drugs withdrawal and the Prediction Graves' Orbitopathy-PREDIGO score: a prediction score for the development of Graves' Orbitopathy in newly diagnosed patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism.
Among the different categories of the patients, no significant differences were seen for TGF- β1 levels, but for Tregs in patients with T1D and AiTD (P = 0.035).
Compared with controls, the frequency of haplotype CCA in AITD patients was higher than that in controls (<i>p</i> = 0.036), but the frequency of haplotype CTA in AITD and HT patients was lower than that in controls (<i>p</i> = 0.046; <i>p</i> = 0.047 respectively).
Transmembrane protein 39A (<i>TMEM39A</i>) gene polymorphisms have been related to various autoimmune diseases, but the relationship between <i>TMEM39A</i> polymorphisms and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) remains unknown.
We aimed to investigate integrity of the thyroid follicle by studying immunoexpression of cellular Tj - zonula occludens (ZO)-1 and claudin-1 proteins coupled to IL-17A and CD68 detection in AITD patients compared with controls.Thirty-five adult patients undergoing thyroidectomy and presenting 18 cases of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), 7 of Graves' disease (GD) as well as 10 subjects of colloid goiter without autoimmune component served as controls were enrolled in this study.
However, there are few reports as to whether Th2 chemotaxis-related genes, such as CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells), IL-25, TARC/CCL17 (Thymus and activation regulated chemokine/chemokine ligand 17) or STAT6 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6), affect the pathology of and/or susceptibility to AITD.

Expression of AGO1 mRNA in PBMC was significantly higher in AITD patient than in controls, and that of AGO2 mRNA in PBMC was significantly higher in intractable GD patients than in patients with GD in remission.
