aThe program, SNPAlyze ver. 7.0 Standard, was used to estimate common (frequencies > 0.01) haplotypes for the five SNPs genotyped.
bEach haplotype was compared with the other haplotypes combined.
SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism; AITD: autoimmune thyroid disease; GD: Graves’ disease; HT: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
