Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines that can cause directed migration of leukocytes. The aim of this study was to examine differences in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of chemokine in AITD patients compared to normal controls. A total of 86 Korean pediatric patients were included in the patient group and 183 adults were included in the normal control group. To compare influences of several chemokine gene polymorphisms, 25 SNPs in 16 chemokine genes were analyzed. Genotype frequencies of CCL11(rs3744508)AA(OR = 6.9) and CCR2(rs1799864)AA(OR = 3.8) were higher in the AITD patients than in the controls, whereas CCL17(rs223828)CC was lower in the AITD patients than in the controls(OR = 0.4). In comparison between Graves' disease (GD) patients and controls, genotype frequency of CCL17(rs223828)CC(OR = 0.4) was lower in the GD group, whereas those of CCR2(rs1799864)AA(OR = 4.8) were higher in the GD group. The genotype frequency of CCL11(rs3744508)AA(OR = 11.3) was higher in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) patients, whereas that of CXCL8(rs2227306)CC(OR = 0.4) was lower in HT patients. Polymorphisms of CCL11(rs3744508), CCL17(rs223828), and CCR2(rs1799864) might be associated with AITD, with CCL17(rs223828), CCR2(rs1799864) and CXCR2(rs2230054, rs1126579) affecting GD and CCL11(rs3744508) and CXCL8(rs2227306) affecting HT in Korean children.

This dataset focuses on N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) without autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). Emerging evidence suggests that m6A modification was associated with the occurrence and progression of both thyroid carcinoma and AITD. Given the substantial clinical overlap between thyroid carcinoma (particularly PTC) and AITD, rigorous exclusion of autoimmune confounding factors is essential to isolate the distinct role of m6A modifications in driving thyroid carcinogenesis and progression.

Empty sella (ES) involves herniation of the pituitary fossa, leading to pituitary flattening. While typically associated with central hypothyroidism, its co-occurrence with hyperthyroidism is rarely reported and often overlooked. We report a rare case of hyperthyroidism in a patient with ES.

This case report describes a 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) who developed Addison disease (AD). The diagnosis was suspected due to a significant decrease in insulin requirement and recurrent hypoglycemia despite adjustments in insulin pump therapy. The patient exhibited typical clinical features of AD, including hyperpigmentation and electrolyte imbalances.

Background: Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the most common autoimmune disease in patients with Turner Syndrome (TS). There is a high prevalence of AITD in TS patients, it has an early age of onset and can present as severe thyroid dysfunction. The specific etiology of AITD in TS is not clear and may be associated with sex chromosome-related genetic defects, immune dysfunction, or sex hormone imbalance due to ovarian insufficiency.

Autoantibodies against β-cell components in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans are characteristic of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The genetic and autoimmune determinants of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Ethiopians are not yet thoroughly characterized, with studies indicating a lower occurrence of autoantibodies related to T1D compared to Caucasians. The study aimed to determine the occurrence of autoantibodies related to type 1 diabetes (T1D), celiac disease (CD), and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in conjunction with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genotype in Ethiopian children and adolescents with T1D.
