TL;DR: A GWAS meta-analysis for TPOAbs identified five newly associated loci, three of which were also associated with clinical thyroid disease, and the MAGI3 and BACH2 variants were associated with an increased risk of hyperthyroidism, which was replicated in an independent cohort of patients with Graves' disease as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal Perspective on the Conundrum of Central Arterial Stiffness, Blood Pressure, and Aging

TL;DR: It is indicated that PWV is not a surrogate for BP and that arterial properties other than arterial wall stiffness that vary by age and sex also modulate the BP trajectories during aging and lead to the dissociation of PWV, PP, and SBP trajectories in men.

TL;DR: The results provide insight into why individuals with thyroid autoimmunity do or do not eventually develop thyroid disease, and these markers may therefore predict which TPOAb-positives are particularly at risk of developing clinical thyroid dysfunction.

TL;DR: The frequency of PTC is significantly higher in nodular-HT than in NG and is associated with increased levels of serum TSH, and treatment with L-T4 reduces TSH levels and decreases the occurrence of clinically detectable PTC.
