In this study, we investigated whether the CD40 or cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated molecules-4 (CTLA-4) polymorphisms, which are associated with the susceptibility of Graves' disease (GD), can predict the clinical outcome after antithyroid drug (ATD) withdrawal. All patients with GD were treated with ATD. GD patients were divided into two groups: remission or failure. The remission group was defined as patients who maintained a euthyroid state for 1 year after ATD withdrawal. The failure group was defined as patients who relapsed within 1 year after the discontinuation of ATD or who could not discontinue their ATD treatment within 24 months. The rate of treatment failure after ATD withdrawal was 72.2%. For the susceptible genes, the CC genotype in the CD40, the GG genotype in the CTLA-4 exon 1, and the CC genotype in the CTLA-4 promoter region have shown no significant association with a clinical outcome after ATD withdrawal. However, clinical parameters, such as male gender, severe thyrotoxicosis, high thyroid-stimulating hormone-binding inhibitory immunoglobulin value, and a large goiter, were related to treatment failure. These findings suggest that the genetic markers associated with the development of GD cannot be used to predict the relapse of GD patients in place of clinical parameters.
