Immunogenetic Factors in Autoimmunitybeen consistently associated with multiple autoimmune diseases, namely the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region on chromosome 6p21, the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen (.)-4 gene on chromosome 2q33, and the . gene encoding lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase (LYP) on chromosome 1p13.

Environmental Factors in Autoimmune Endocrinopathieses their development, environmental factors are also involved in their pathogenesis. These environmental agents include infections, therapeutic drugs, chemicals, and radiation. A firm relationship between these environmental agents and autoimmune diseases is difficult to establish as exposure to the

Animal Models of Autoimmune Thyroid Diseaseoimmune targets are thyroglobulin (TG), thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR). Autoantibodies and specific T cells directed against all three autoantigens can be detected in the circulation of HT and GD patients and also in a significant proportion of the healthy population. I

Fifty years after the initial description of thyroid autoimmunity and identification of the major autoantigens, the disease remains the best understood form of human organ-specific autoimmunity.

Animal models of the spontaneous disease as well as genetically modified models have contributed significantly to our understanding of both the pathogenesis and the pathophysiology of the disease. In particular, animal models have allowed a better
