Graves' disease is the leading cause of autoimmune hyperthyroidism. Thyroid hormones are an essential element of the endocrine system, playing a pivotal role in the body's development, especially important in children with intensified growth. Disturbance within thyroid tissue certainly affected the whole body.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) involves several pathogenic pathways and a battery of infiltrating mononuclear cells, cytokines, and chemokines in the orbit. Revealing the main molecules, which play a major role in the pathogenesis of TED, will help developing novel treatment strategies. In a multicenter, single-blind, case-control study, 60 tissue samples were collected during orbital decompression (44 TED patients) or non-TED related oculoplastic (16 controls) surgeries.

Graves's disease is the most common type of autoimmune hyperthyroidism. Numerous studies indicate different factors contributing to the onset of the disease. Despite years of research, the exact pathomechanism of Graves' disease still remains unresolved, especially in the context of immune response.

Graves' disease (GD) is hyperthyroidism associated with organ-specific autoimmune inflammation. GD occurs more frequently in adults than in children; however, pediatric patients are a therapeutic challenge due to cycles of remissions and relapses requiring constant monitoring at every stage of treatment administered. Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered to be a link between innate and adaptive immunity.

Filamin C (FLNc) is mainly expressed in striated muscle cells where it localizes to Z-discs, myotendinous junctions and intercalated discs. Recent studies have revealed numerous mutations in the FLNC gene causing familial and sporadic myopathies and cardiomyopathies with marked clinical variability. The most frequent myopathic mutation, p.
