Research Abstract |
We have collected genomic DNA samples from patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases who were strictly classified into categories depend on their prognosis, and also from monozygotic twin pairs. We have clarified the associations of some functional polymorphisms in immune regulatory genes with the prognosis of Graves' and Hashimoto' s diseases. In addition, we have reported for the first time that the global methylation of genomic DNA was related to the genotype of polymorphism in DNMT1 gene, which also associated with the prognosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases.
