Lending support to our results, a recent study (Turyk et al. 2008) found that men with ∑PBDEs > 95th percentile (193 ng/g lipids) had substantially increased odds of having detectable serum thyroglobulin antibodies (OR = 6.1; 95% CI, 1.9–19.2), which are found in 80% of Graves disease patients (Weetman 2000). The gene discussed is TG; the disease is Graves disease.
