Recently, the G allele of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated factor 4 (CTLA-4) exon 1 single-nucleotide polymorphism (CTLA-4 A/G(49)) has been identified as the most informative marker in patients with Graves' disease. Patients with the G/G genotype are refractory to medical treatment and frequently relapse after discontinuation of antithyroid drugs. Therefore, we analyzed CTLA-4 A/G(49) in patients who had been treated with (131)I. Further, a preliminary report has suggested that amiodarone-associated thyroid dysfunction (AATD) has a relationship with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and class II.
