Association Analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in C1QTNF6, RAC2, and an Intergenic Region at 14q32.2 with Graves' Disease in Chinese Han Population.

Background: Variation within the C1QTNF6 gene at 22q12.3, the RAC2 gene at 22q13.1, and an intergenic region at 14q32.

Association of 4p14 and 6q27 variation with Graves disease: a case-control study and a meta-analysis of available evidence.

Background: The etiology of the Graves' disease (GD) is largely unknown. However, genetic factors are believed to play a major role. A recent genome-wide association study in a Han Chinese sample collection revealed two new Graves' disease (GD) risk loci within chromosome band 4p14 and 6q27.
