It also has higher prevalence than other organ specific autoimmune diseases. Taking advantage of the genome research and new biostatistical tools, there has been significant progress in genetic study on Grave's disease during the latest 10 years. In this review article, we started with the clinical presentation, laboratory finding, and pathophysiology of Grave's disease. We then summarized the various animal models. Evidence of genetic factors in the etiology of Grave's disease was also examined. The methods for the study of multifactorial polygenic diseases were described. We ended up with the most, update advance in genetic study on Grave's disease. However, most of the studies were restricted to the Caucasian populations. Further investigation on the non-Caucasian populations is necessary, and might provide important insight to this topic. |
