| Popis: | The inheritance of autoantibodies to thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase (thyroid microsomal antigen) has been reevaluated with newly developed ultrasensitive assays that depend on the direct interaction between antibody and radiolabeled antigen. In a study of 16 families with autoimmune thyroid disease, autoantibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPO) were found to be inherited as a dominant Mendelian trait in females with reduced penetrance in males. Similar results were obtained with thyroglobulin (Tg) autoantibodies. Genetic linkage analysis of the loci for TPO and Tg autoantibodies with 28 polymorphic serological markers (including HLA and Gm allotypes) was carried out in 9 families. LOD scores for some serological markers (such as Gm) were uninformative, but linkage with other markers, notably the HLA antigens -A, B, -DR, -DQ, and BF on chromosome 6, could be excluded. Further studies using a comprehensive panel of gene probes to analyze DNA from families with autoimmune thyroid disease should permit the localization of the gene cluster responsible for regulating the ability to produce autoantibodies to TPO and Tg in man. |
