The polymorphisms in the thyroid peroxidase gene were associated with the development of autoimmune thyroid disease and the serum levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody

Abstract: Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's disease (HD) are well known autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), and the severity and intractability of AITDs varies among patients. Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a thyroid-specific antigen. The levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were higher in patients with HD and may be associated with thyroid destruction. In this study, we genotyped eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TPO gene to clarify the association of TPO gene polymorphisms with the dev… Show more

“…These results seemed to reflect that certain loci of above genes could be associated with AITDs Uyghur patients in [20,21]. In recent decades, a number of SNPs in the TPO gene have been genotyped and different loci showed different effect on ATIDs (both GD and HT, or respectively), which further clarified the important role of TPO played in the development of AITDs [21][22][23][24]. TG is a 660-kDa glycoprotein, which accounts for about 75%-80% of the total thyroid protein [25,26] and deserves to be a major AITDs susceptibility gene.…”

“…Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), which primarily include Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), are common organ-specific autoimmune diseases with varying severity and intractability [ 1 ]. AITDs are characterized by lymphocytic infiltration into the thyroid and the production of autoantibodies to thyroid-specific antigens, such as thyrotropin receptor (TSHR), thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg) [ 2 – 4 ]. The presence of thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) autoantibody (TRAb) is used in the serological diagnosis of GD [ 5 ].…”

“…This similar prevalence of anti‐TPO may indicate that our study cohort has the same genetic risks to develop anti‐TPO compared with the random Dutch age‐matched women. Genetic studies indeed showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms in TPO and some other genes are associated with the presence of low‐ or high‐level anti‐TPO [34–36].…”
