Association of multinodular euthyroid goitre with some genetic markers

Abstract

Distribution of blood groups ABO, Rh, Pu and MN was studied in 85 patients with multinodular euthyroid colloid goitre. An association has been revealed between the presence of this disease and MN blood group, as well as the absence of Pi antigen. These results permit us considering MN blood group and P| antigen absence as factors of risk for multinodular euthyroid colloid goitre.
