Three SNPs with connections to other conditions that are suggestively associated with hypothyroidism. CAPZB and PDE8B have been associated with TSH levels and CTLA4 with a variety of autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune hypothyroidism. See Table 2 for nomenclature, Table S1 for all SNPs with and Table S2 for 107 SNPs involved in autoimmune disease.
