Objective: We try to investigate the polymorphisms and amino acid variants of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, -DPB1 molecules in early-onset AITD.Methods: The genotypes of HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQB1, and DPB1 on AITD were analyzed in 102 Korean children with AITDs (Graves’ disease (GD)=62, Hashimoto’s disease (HD)=40) and 142 healthy control using sequence-based typing. Analysis of variant amino acids was performed across the genotyping results with ...
