A missence single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor 22 (PTPN22) gene known as R620W (rs2476601) was recently reported to be associated with several autoimmune diseases including Graves' disease (GD). The association was repeatedly confirmed in the populations of North European ancestry. However, this amino acid was reported to be nonpolymorphic in the Asian populations. Since the gene confers an impact on autoimmune diseases, we attempt to explore an association between the PTPN22 gene and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in a Japanese population without restricting to rs2476601. Previous investigations have also demonstrated that two intronic SNPs (rs706778 and rs3118470) in the interleukin-2 receptor-alpha (IL2RA) gene were associated with type 1 diabetes in the Japanese population.
