PD-1 gene polymorphisms and thyroid expression of PD-1 ligands differ between Graves’ and Hashimoto’s diseases

The programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/PD ligand pathway plays a key role in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance by enhancing the suppressive activity of regulatory T (Treg) cells. The promoter activity of the A allele of PD1 rs36084323 G/A polymorphism is lower than that of the G allele. We examine...
