In conclusion, the substitutions mutations, namely, p.Ala373Ser, p.Ser398Thr, and p.Thr725Pro, had been involved in Bangladeshi patients with TDH and molecular docking-based study revealed that these mutations had damaging effect on the TPO protein activity.
The findings showed that the chance (odds ratio) of developing subclinical hypothyroidism in individuals who had C alleles was 1.5 and 5.6-fold higher than in individuals without these alleles in the A2095C and A2173C regions, respectively.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the Asn698Thr (A2095C) and Thr725Pro (A2173C) polymorphisms of the TPO gene and anti-TPO levels in patients with SCH.
The c.2173C allele of the Thr725Pro in TPO showed a significant association among hypothyroid patients compared to controls (p = 0.01; Odds ratio=1.45; 95% CI: 1.09-1.92) suggesting it to be a potential risk allele toward disease predisposition.
