SUN-724 Associations of GPR174 and ITM2A Genes on X Chromosome with Early Onset Autoimmune Thyroid Disease in Korean

ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are female predominant and the biology of sexual dimorphism is not clearly understood. Recently, GPR174 and ITM2A on X chromosome have been newly suggested as autoimmune thyroid disease susceptible loci. Methods: Fourteen single nucleotide polymorphisms in immune related genes on X chromosome were analyzed in 108 Korean children (girls =90, boys =18) with AITD [Hashimoto disease (HD) = 40, Graves′ disease (GD) = 68, thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) = 37, and non-TAO =60] with gender ratio matched normal control 106 controls (female = 43, male = 63). Results: In AITD, the frequencies of GPR174 rs3810711 T allele (OR=6.0, cP =0.000), GRP174 rs3827440 T allele (OR=6.0, cP =0.000), ITM2A-GPR174 rs5912838 A allele (OR=2.7, cP =0.00
