“…As explained under Materials and Methods, we probed the literature for articles on the presence of serum autoantibodies against each of the thyroid autoantigen-homologous proteins in autoimmune diseases, including thyroid autoimmune diseases, by performing a PubMed search with the string “(autoanti* OR autoimm* OR autoreact*) AND” followed by the name of each protein and manually selecting relevant original papers [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [63] , [64] , [65] , [66] , [67] , [68] , [69] , [70] , [71] , [72] , [73] , [74] , [75] , [76] , [77] , [78] , [79] , [80] , [81] , [82] , [83] , [84] , [85] , [86] , [87] , [88] , [89] , [90] , [91] , [92] , [93] . As summarized in Table 4 , of the 46 CNS proteins homologous to TSH-R, 5 (11%; LGR4, chondroadherin, alpha-1A adrenergic receptor, Mu opioid receptor, and melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1) were reported to stimulate autoAb, and in the following con...…”
