New insights into the etiopathogenesis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: the role of genetics and epigenetics
There is growing research interest for the role of genetic and epigenetic factors in the etiopathogenesis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HT).
HT is an organ-specific autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) accounting for most cases of clinical hypothyroidism and in which both cellular and humoral immunity have a role in the pathogenesis. HT is characterized by diffuse goiter supported by thyroid-specific autoantibodies and
