Among genetic factors that may contribute to the development and progression of Graves' disease (GD) and its complications are polymorphisms in the genes encoding cytokines. The association between GD and the following polymorphisms in anti-inflammatory cytokines was studied in 107 patients with GD and 140 healthy controls: IL-4 (-1098T/G, -590T/C, -33C/T), IL-10 (-1082A/G, -819C/T, -592C/A) and TGF-beta (+869T/C, +915G/C). The following alleles and genotypes were significantly (P < 0.01 after correction for multiple testing) more frequent among patients: the IL-4 -1098G allele and GG genotype (OR = 3.12 and 105.00, respectively), IL-4 -33T allele and TT genotype (OR = 2.52 and 118.83, respectively), IL-10 -1082G allele and GG genotype (OR = 2.16 and 6.40, respectively), IL-10 -819T allele, TC and TT genotype (OR = 2.60, 3.68 and 6.76, respectively), IL-10 -592A allele, AC and AA genotype (OR = 2.41, 2.89 and 5.68, respectively), TGF-beta +869C allele and CC genotype (OR = 2.24 and 6.21, respectively), and TGF-beta +915C allele, CG and CC genotype (OR = 7.81, 11.80 and 20.40, respectively). The only allele and genotype with a lower frequency in patients were IL-4 -590T allele and TC genotype (OR = 0.47 and 0.08, respectively; P < 0.01). In conclusion, this study highlighted the importance of anti-inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms in susceptibility to GD.

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).

D015847 Interleukin-4 A soluble factor produced by activated T-LYMPHOCYTES that induces the expression of MHC CLASS II GENES and FC RECEPTORS on B-LYMPHOCYTES and causes their proliferation and differentiation. It also acts on T-lymphocytes, MAST CELLS, and several other hematopoietic lineage cells.

D016212 Transforming Growth Factor beta A factor synthesized in a wide variety of tissues. It acts synergistically with TGF-alpha in inducing phenotypic transformation and can also act as a negative autocrine growth factor. TGF-beta has a potential role in embryonal development, cellular differentiation, hormone secretion, and immune function. TGF-beta is found mostly as homodimer forms of separate gene products TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2 or TGF-beta3. Heterodimers composed of TGF-beta1 and 2 (TGF-beta1.2) or of TGF-beta2 and 3 (TGF-beta2.3) have been isolated. The TGF-beta proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins.
