Outline of Final Research Achievements

Several genes were identified as candidates for AITD disease related gene by DNA methylation. In GD, the TG rs2703013 T allele was increased in the remission group compared to the intractable group, and the TgAb value was decreased in the TT type. In HD, the DROSHA mRNA was decreased in the severe group compared to the mild group. In addition, IL15 +96522 AA type and A allele are increased in the severe group compared to the mild group. In conclusion, TG and DISER may be related to the pathological condition of GD and DROSHA may be related to the pathological condition of HD. The association with the methylation of these genes is currently under analysis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果により、バセドウ病の治療における奏功性に関連する遺伝子や橋本病の甲状腺機能低下症発症に関連する遺伝子が明らかとなった。この発見は、新たなAITD病態の解明や予防診断検査の開発に貢献できると考えられる。さらに現在進行中であるこれらの遺伝子におけるメチル化との関連が明らかになれば、DNMT1制御による新たなバセドウ病治療法につながる可能性がある。
