Specific genotype variations of Interleukin-10.G (IL-10.G) and MHC class I chain-related gene A (MICA) short tandem repeat polymorphisms in thyroid autoimmunity

Abstract

Objective: The autoimmune thyropathies Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) probably have multiple genetic and environmental background. Allele alterations of immune genes might contribute to the development of autoimmunity.
