Recurrence of Graves’ Disease: What Genetics of HLA and PTPN22 Can Tell Us

BackgroundApproximately half of patients diagnosed with Graves’ disease (GD) relapse within two years of thyreostatic drug withdrawal. It is then necessary to decide whether to reintroduce conservative treatment that can have serious side effects, or to choose a radical approach. Familial forms of G...
