Lack of association between polymorphism of the thyrotropin receptor gene and Graves' disease in United Kingdom and Hong Kong Chinese patients: case control and family-based studies.

The thyrotropin receptor (TSH-R) gene is a candidate for genetic susceptibility to Graves' disease (GD). Previous case control studies investigating allelic association of a polymorphism at position 253 (C253 to A253) of the TSH-R gene have shown conflicting results. We genotyped two independen...
