An improved mathematical model of human thyroid hormone regulation.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Recent studies have shown that Graves' disease (GD) is linked to and associated with alleles of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) locus. However, the true pathogenic polymorphism(s) at this locus remains uncertain. Moreover, the association studies of the promoter CTLA4(-318)C/T polymorphism in whi...
