| The commonest cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune inflammation of the thyroid gland. |
| It is associated with autoimmune illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis. |
| Myasthenia gravis is a chronic, autoimmune disorder which results in progressive skeletal muscle weakness. |
| The data included results of genomic typing at polymorphic loci at or near genes of the autoimmune inflammatory response. |
| Patients with hypothyroidism may have other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, Addison's disease, or pernicious anaemia. |
