Advances in Graves' Disease
Highlights
Since 1835, when Graves described his disease, dramatic progress has been made in our knowledge of the illness
More than twenty genes have been associated with autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) that can be categorized into two groups: immune regulatory genes and thyroid-specific genes
New genetic findings have emphasized the identification of the environmental components that interact with host genetic factors in other Journal of Thyroid Research autoimmune diseases, this approach has been elusive so far for AITD
Summary
Since 1835, when Graves described his disease, dramatic progress has been made in our knowledge of the illness. It is true that despite recent advances, the clinical management of Graves’ disease has changed very little over the last few decades. Davies et al summarizes the new genetic insights into autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), a complex topic that is actively being investigated.
