Original Source: Cutting Edge: The Etiology of Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases.
Significant progress has been made in our understanding of the mechanisms leading to autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). For the first time, we are beginning to unravel these mechanisms at the molecular level. AITD, including Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), are common autoimmune diseases affecting the thyroid. They have a complex etiology that involves genetic and environmental influences. Seven genes have been shown to contribute to the etiology of AITD. The first AITD gene discovere...

Genetically Driven Target Tissue Overexpression of CD40: A Novel Mechanism in Autoimmune Disease.
The CD40 gene, an important immune regulatory gene, is also expressed and functional on nonmyeloid-derived cells, many of which are targets for tissue-specific autoimmune diseases, including β cells...
Polymorphisms in NLRP1 gene and susceptibility to autoimmune thyroid disease.
The autoimmune thyroid disorders, or AITDs, comprise 2 related disorders, Graves'disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis. In AITD, immune system produces antibodies against autothyroid antigens. The etiolog...
