Abstract
Graves’ disease (GD) results from an interplay of genetic factors and environmental triggers. We examined the immunoregulatory gene, Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), a candidate gene located in a region on chromosome Xq21.33−22 which we have previously found to be linked to GD and designated as GD-3. The study aimed to identify whether BTK was GD-3. No association was found between GD and alleles of the marker DXS178 and the A/C SNP. We concluded that BTK is not the GD-3 Graves’ disease susceptibility gene on chromosome Xq21.33−22.
