We genotyped DICER rs3742330A/G and rs1057035T/C as well as DROSHA rs644236C/T and rs10719C/T polymorphisms in 255 Hashimoto's disease (HD) patients, in 255 Graves' disease (GD) patients and in 128 healthy controls by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)- restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method.
In conclusion, the DICER rs1057035 TT genotype and DROSHA rs644236 CC genotype were associated with the development of GD and the differentiation between GD and HD, respectively.
