Abstract
Background: Graves' disease (GD) arises due to complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) is required to maintain immune homeostasis, and is implicated in lymphocyte infiltration, thyroid follicular cell hyperplasia, and production of autoantibody in the thyroid gland of patients with GD.
