Allele A of STAT3 SNP rs744166 A>G was significantly more frequent in both HT and GD patients, while allele G was significantly more frequent in the control group.
In this study, we genotyped three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IL-23R (rs11209026/p.Arg381Gln, rs7530511) and STAT3 (rs744166) genes in 217 Croatian patients with HT and 161 healthy controls using fluorescence resonance energy transfer technology and melting curve analysis of polymerase chain reaction products.
