Abstract in Portuguese
As doenças autoimunes da tireoide (DAIT) representadas, principalmente pela doença de Graves (DG) e tireoidite de Hashimoto (TH), apresentam causas multifatoriais, incluindo fatores genéticos e ambientais. Diversos genes estão envolvidos, entre eles CTLA4, PTPN22 e mais recentemente IFIH1, principalmente quando associados a diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1). OBJETIVOS: Determinar a frequência alélica e genotípica dos polimorfismos: -318C/T, A49G e CT60 do CTLA4, R620W do PTPN22 e A946T do IFIH1 em pacientes pediátricos portadores de DG, TH e DM1 associado a TH e em uma população controle normal, e determinar a associação com características clínicas e laboratoriais. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 142 pacientes menores de 21 anos ao diagnóstico. Os dados clínicos e laboratoriais foram obtidos em prontuário. A genotipagem foi realizada por PCR em tempo real de todos os polimorfismos. Dados clínicos e laboratoriais como sexo, idade de início, bócio, anticorpos anti-GAD, IA2 e IAA e níveis de TRAb e anti-TPO foram analisados. RESULTADOS: Sessenta e dois pacientes foram diagnosticados com DG, com idade média ao diagnóstico (IMD) de 10,8 ± 4,4 anos, sendo 43 do sexo feminino; TH esteve presente em 44 pacientes, sendo 37 meninas, com IMD de 10,3 (± 2,9 anos); e 36 pacientes com DM1 associado a TH, sendo 21 meninas, com IMD de 6,2 (± 4,0 anos) no momento do diagnóstico de DM1 e de 11,6 (± 4,6 anos) ao diagnóstico de TH. O grupo controle foi constituído por 81 indivíduos sem diabetes, função tireoidiana normal e ausência de anticorpos antitireoidianos. Todos os polimorfismos estavam em equilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg. O polimorfismo -318C/T não esteve associado com nenhum dos grupos. O alelo de risco G do polimorfismo A49G foi mais frequente em pacientes com TH (p=0,047) e o genótipo patogênico (AG e GG) foi mais frequente em pacientes com DG (p=0,049). O alelo de risco G do polimorfismo CT60 foi mais frequente apenas em pacientes com DG (p=0,035). O alelo de risco T do polimorfismo R620W foi mais frequente em pacientes com DM1 associado a TH (p=0,043). O alelo de risco T do polimorfismo A946T foi mais frequente em pacientes com DM1 associado a TH (p=0,009), assim como o genótipo patogênico (CT e TT) quando comparado ao grupo controle (p=0,007). Quando agrupamos todas as DAIT, observamos associação com A49G (p=0,024) e R620W (p=0,047). Quando agrupamos apenas pacientes com TH, encontramos diferença no A49G (p=0,018) e no A946T (p=0,041). O polimorfismo CT60 foi associado com menor duração da terapia medicamentosa no grupo DG (p=0,004), mas não com os níveis de TRAb ou presença de bócio. No DM1 com HT, o alelo de risco do A49G foi mais frequentemente encontrado no sexo masculino (p=0,04); R620W foi relacionado com a presença de bócio (p=0,03), enquanto A946T foi associado com níveis de anti-TPO mais baixos (p=0,047). Os níveis de anti-GAD, IA2 e Resumo IAA não foram associados aos polimorfismos. CONCLUSÃO: Encontramos associações genéticas diferentes entre os pacientes com DAIT, sugerindo que as crianças possuem provavelmente padrões genéticos distintos, apesar do menor tempo de exposição a fatores ambientais

Abstract in English
Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) represented by Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), have multifactorial causes, including genetic and environmental factors. Several genes are involved, including CTLA4, PTPN22 and more recently IFIH1, especially when associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). OBJECTIVES: To determine the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the polymorphisms: -318C/T, A49G and CT60 of CTLA4, R620W of PTPN22 and A946T of IFIH1 in pediatric patients with GD, HT and T1D associated with HT and in a control population and determine association with clinical and laboratory features. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied 142 patients under 21 years at diagnosis. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained from medical records. Genotyping was performed by real time PCR for all polymorphisms. Clinical and laboratory data were analyzed, such as gender, age of onset, goiter, anti-GAD, IA2 and IAA levels and TRAb and anti-TPO levels. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients were diagnosed with GD, with mean age at diagnosis (MAD) of 10.8 ± 4.4 years, 43 females; HT was present in 44 patients, 37 girls, MAD 10.3 (± 2.9 years) and type 1 diabetes associated with HT was present in 36 patients, 21 girls, MAD 6.2 (± 4.0 years) at diagnosis of T1D and 11.6 (± 4.6 years) at diagnosis of HT. Control group consisted of 81 subjects without diabetes, normal thyroid function and absence of antithyroid antibodies. All polymorphisms were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The polymorphism -318C/T was not associated with any of the groups. The risk allele G of A49G polymorphism was more frequent in patients with HT (p=0.047) and the pathogenic genotype (AG and GG) was more frequent in patients with GD (p=0.049). The risk allele G of CT60 polymorphism was more frequent only in patients with GD (p=0.035). The risk allele T of R620W polymorphism was more frequent in patients with T1D associated with HT (p=0.043). The risk allele T of A946T polymorphism was more frequent in patients with T1D associated with HT (p=0.009), as well as the pathogenic genotype (CT and TT) compared to control group (p=0.007). When all AITD is grouped, we observed association with A49G (p=0.024) and R620W (p=0.047). Only when patients with HT are grouped, we found differences in A49G (p=0.018) and A946T (p=0.041). CT60 polymorphism was associated with a shorter duration of drug therapy on GD group (p=0.004), but no association with TRAb levels or presence of goiter were found. In T1D with HT, the risk allele of A49G was more often found in males (p=0.04); R620W was associated with presence of goiter (p=0.03), while A946T was associated with anti-TPO levels (p=0.047). The anti-GAD, IAA and IA2 levels were not associated with any polymorphisms. CONCLUSION: We found different genetic associations among patients with AITD, suggesting that children are likely to have distinct genetic background, despite shorter exposure to environmental factors
