Association of Glyoxalase I Allotypes with Graves’ Disease and Diabetes mellitus

Abstract
In view of the demonstrated linkage of glyoxalase I (GLO) with HLA, the possible association of Graves'' disease and juvenile diabetes with GLO allotypes was studied. Both these diseases show significant HLA associations. The distributions of the 2 GLO allotypes in the 2 disease groups were identical to those found in the control group.
