Predisposition to Graves’ disease and Graves’ ophthalmopathy by genetic variants of IL2RA [PDF]
Previous studies have identified that Th17/Treg cells were involved in the occurrence and development of Graves' disease (GD). This study aimed at clarifying the association between GD susceptibility and nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Th17/Treg cell-related genes, including IL2RA, miR27a, miR182, and FoxO1. A two-stage association study

In thyroid cancer patients, high‐dose (≥7.4 GBq) radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT) was associated with a higher prevalence of clonal hematopoiesis (variant allele frequency >2%) in individuals aged ≥50 years (OR = 2.44). In silico analyses showed that truncating PPM1D mutations conferred a selective advantage under these conditions.
