Compelling Evidence Linking CD40 Gene With Graves’ Disease in the Chinese Han Population
Mutations in CD40 have been widely reported to be risk factors for Graves’ disease (GD). The gene, along with its cognate ligand CD40L, may regulate pro-inflammatory and immune responses. Rs1883832, located at the -1 position of the Kozak sequence, is the most well-studied single nucleotide polymorp...
