4) We did not measure Tg Ab in this study and thyroid autoimmunity was evaluated based only on serum TPO Ab measurement; however the presence of TPO Ab in serum is more frequent than Tg Ab [43]; furthermore a large population based study demonstrated a similar prevalence in both antibodies [44] and finally our study assessed only thyroid autoimmunity in relation to age specific AMH levels and autoimmunity in general was not assessed. This evidence concerns the gene TPO and autoimmune thyroid disease.
