Histocompatibility leucocyte antigens and closely linked immunomodulatory genes in autoimmune thyroid disease.
OBJECTIVES: Associations between autoimmune thyroid disease and antigens of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have long been recognized. Graves' disease (GD) is associated with the histocompatibility leucocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype A*01-B*0801-DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 (or B8/DR3...
