Linkage Analysis of the Chromosome 5q31-33 Region Identifies JAKMIP2 as a Risk Factor for Graves' Disease in the Chinese Han Population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate susceptibility to Graves's disease and the association with the 5q32-33.1 region on chromosome 5 in a Chinese Han population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty Chinese Han multiplex families included first-degree and second-degree relatives with Graves' disease. Eight microsatellite markers on chromosome 5 at the 5q32-33.1 region underwent linkage analysis and the association between the regions D5S1480-D5S2014 were studied. RESULTS The maximal heterogeneity logarithm of the odds (HLOD) score of D5S2090 was 4.29 (α=0.42) and of D5S2014 was 4.01 (α=0.34). A nonparametric linkage (NPL) score of 3.14 (P<0.001) was found for D5S2014. The D5S1480-D5S2014 region on chromosome 5 was associated with Graves' disease, with eight haplotype domains.
