Autoimmune Diseases 		0.010 Biomarker group BEFREE Our working hypotheses for the pathogenesis of TED are: i) the initial reaction in the orbit is antibody and T lymphocyte targeting of the TSHR in the OCT compartment, and ii) the associated extra ocular and upper eyelid muscle inflammation reflects either autoimmunity against primary skeletal muscle antigens such as CASQ1 or a secondary, non specific effect of the OCT reactions as proposed by the main proponents of the "TSHR hypothesis". 20464711 2010
