Patients were recruited our endocrine clinic basis having The inclusion patients this was unambiguously single ascertainment. We studied 155 (131 with Graves' [GD] 24 Hashimoto's thyroiditis [HT]) who had reliable information presence or absence AITD siblings. Nine probands siblings GD 13 HT. Using rates NHANES clinical hypothyroidism, calculated λs 16.9 AITD, 11.6 for...
