Abstract Background: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are female predominant and the biology of sexual dimorphism is not clearly understood. Recently, GPR174 and ITM2A on X chromosome have been newly suggested as autoimmune thyroid disease susceptible loci. Methods: Fourteen single nucleotide polymorphisms in immune related genes on X chromosome were analyzed in 108 Korean children (girls =90, boys =18) with AITD [Hashimoto disease (HD) = 40, Graves′ disease (GD) = 68, thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) = 37, and non-TAO =60] with gender ratio matched normal control 106 controls (female = 43, male = 63). Results: In AITD, the frequencies of GPR174 rs3810711 T allele (OR=6.0, cP =0.000), GRP174 rs3827440 T allele (OR=6.0, cP =0.000), ITM2A-GPR174 rs5912838 A allele (OR=2.7, cP =0.001) were increased and of GPR174 rs3810711 CC genotype (OR=0.2, cP =0.000), GRP174 rs3827440 CC genotype (OR=0.2, cP =0.000), ITM2A-GPR174 rs5912838 CC genotype (OR=0.4, cP =0.000)were lower than controls. In GD, the frequencies of GPR174 rs3810711 T allele (OR=8.4, cP =0.000), GRP174 rs3827440 T allele (OR=8.4, cP =0.000), ITM2A-GPR174 rs5912838 A allele (OR=3.3, cP =0.000) were increased and GPR174 rs3810711 CC genotype (OR=0.1, cP =0.000), C allele (OR=0.5, cP =0.044), GRP174 rs3827440 CC genotype (OR=0.2, cP =0.000), C allele (OR=0.5, cP =0.044), ITM2A-GPR174 rs5912838 CC genotype (OR=0.4, cP =0.000) were lower than controls. In HD, the frequencies of GPR174 rs3810711 T allele (OR=3.9, cP =0.003), GRP174 rs3827440 T allele(OR=3.9, cP =0.003) were increased and GPR174 rs3810711 CC genotype (OR=0.3, cP =0.004), rs3827440 CC genotype (OR=3.9, cP =0.003) were lower than controls. In thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, the frequencies of GPR174 rs3810711 T allele (OR=7.9, cP =0.000), GRP174 rs3827440 T allele (OR=7.9, cP =0.000), ITM2A-GPR174 rs5912838 A allele (OR=3.1, cP =0.001) were increased and of GPR174 rs3810711 CC genotype (OR=0.1, cP =0.000), GRP174 rs3827440 CC genotype (OR=0.1, cP =0.000), ITM2A-GPR174 rs5912838 CC genotype (OR=0.3, cP =0.014)were lower than controls. Conclusions. Our results suggest that polymorphisms of GPR174 and ITM2A genes on X chromosome might contribute to the pathogenesis of AITD.

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) comprises Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). IL37 has been recently proved to be a natural suppressor for innate immunity and acquired immunity. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the association of IL37 genetic polymorphisms with AITD in Chinese Han population. Polymorphisms of rs3811046/rs3811047/rs2723176/rs272186 in the IL37 gene were assessed in a case–control study comprising 701 GD patients, 301 HT patients and 939 controls. Genetic variants were genotyped by multiplex polymerase chain reaction and ligase detection reaction. The frequencies of the minor allele A of rs2723176 and A of rs2723186 were significantly lower in the GD patients than in the controls (P=0.014, OR=0.774; P=0.014, OR=0.777). After gender stratification, the rs3811046 G allele and the rs3811047/rs2723186 A allele were both significantly associated with a decreased risk of GD in female patients (P=0.030, OR=0.777; P=0.023, OR=0.774; P=0.029, OR=0.761). However, none of the four single nucleotide polymorphisms of IL37 gene showed any significant association with HT. Moreover, haplotype analysis revealed the GCG haplotype conferred increased risk for GD as a whole and in female GD patients (OR=1.213; OR=1.320). The ACG haplotype was associated with an increased risk of HT as a whole (OR=1.567) and in male GD patients (OR=1.820). In contrast, the AAA haplotype showed a protective role for GD as a whole (OR=0.760) and in female GD patients (OR=0.765). Our study strongly supports that the IL37 gene variants are associated with the susceptibility to AITD.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate UBASH3A gene variation association with autoimmune thyroid disease and clinical features in a Chinese Han population. Subjects and methods: A total of 667 AITD patients (417 GD and 250 HT) and 301 healthy controls were genotyped for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs11203203, rs3788013 of UBASH3A gene, utilizing the Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (MALDI-TOF-MS) Platform. Results: Between the control group and AITD, GD and HT group, no statistically significant difference was observed in the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the two SNPs. There was no significant difference in allelic frequencies of the two SNPs between GD with and without ophthalmopathy. There was no significant difference in haplotype distributions between the control group and AITD, GD or HT group. Conclusion: Rs11203203 and rs3788013 in UBASH3A gene may not be associated with AITD patients in Chinese Han population.

Background Accumulating data have shown that interleukin-27 (IL27) polymorphisms are linked to the susceptibility of some autoimmune diseases. We assessed whether there was an association between three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL27 gene and autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs). Methods Three SNPs (rs153109, rs17855750 and rs181206) of IL27 gene were genotyped by Hi-SNP high-throughput genotyping in 843 patients with AITDs (516 Graves’ disease (GD) and 327 Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT)) and 677 healthy controls in Chinese Han population. Results Compared with controls, rs153109 displayed significant associations with GD in allele and genotype frequencies (P = 0.002 and P = 0.008, respectively) and rs17855750 displayed significant associations with HT in allele frequencies (P = 0.02), whereas no differences in genotype or allele frequencies were found between AITD patients and controls at rs181206. Conclusion Our study, for the first time, showed the significant association of the IL27 gene SNPs with AITD.

Background. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been suggested to be associated with the development of AITD. Methods. Fifteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 7 TLR genes were analyzed in 104 Korean children (girls = 86, boys = 18) with AITD (Hashimoto disease (HD) = 44, Graves’ disease (GD) = 60, thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) = 29, and non-TAO = 31) with 183 controls. Results. GD showed higher frequencies of the TLR4 rs1927911 C allele than control. TAO showed a lower frequency of the TLR4 rs1927911 CT genotype and non-TAO showed a higher frequency of the TLR4 rs1927911 CC genotype than control. The frequency of the TLR9 rs187084 CC genotype in TAO was higher than that in non-TAO. GD females showed a higher frequency of the TLR4 rs10759932 T allele, rs1927911 CC genotype, and the rs1927911 C allele than controls. GD males showed a higher frequency of the TLR4 rs10759932 CC genotype and rs1927911 TT genotype and lower frequency of the rs1927911 CT genotype than control. The frequency of the TLR4 rs10759932 CC genotype, C allele and rs1927911 TT genotype, and T allele in a GD female were lower than in a GD male. Conclusions. Our results suggest that TLR4 and 9 polymorphisms might contribute to the pathogenesis of GD and TAO.

(1) Background: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are female predominant and much attention has been focused on G protein-coupled receptor 174 (GPR174) and integral membrane protein 2A (ITM2A) on the X chromosome as Grave’s disease (GD) susceptible locus. (2) Methods: We genotyped four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs3810712, rs3810711, rs3827440, and rs5912838, of GPR174 and ITM2A in 115 Korean children with AITD (M = 25 and F = 90; GD = 74 (14.7 ± 3.6 years), HD = 41 (13.4 ± 3.2 years); GD-thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) = 40, GD-non-TAO=34) and 204 healthy Korean individuals (M = 104 and F = 100). The data were analyzed by sex-stratified or combined. (3) Results: Three SNPs, rs3810712, rs3810711 and rs3827440, were found to be in perfect linkage disequilibrium (D’ = 1, r2 = 1). In AITD, HD, GD, GD-TAO, and GD-non-TAO patients, rs3827440 TT/T and rs5912838 AA/A were susceptible and rs3827440 CC/C and rs5912838 CC/C were protective genotypes. When analyzed by sex, rs3827440 TT and rs5912838 AA were susceptible and rs3827440 CC and rs5912838 CC were protective genotypes in female AITD, GD, GD-TAO, and GD-non-TAO subjects. In male AITD patients, rs3827440 T and rs5912838 A were susceptible and rs3827440 C and rs5912838 C were protective genotypes. (4) Conclusions: Polymorphisms in GPR174 and ITM2A genes on the X chromosome might be associated with AITD in Korean children.
