Steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT), also known as Hashimoto encephalopathy (HE), is a rare condition. HE is characterized by abnormal brain function associated with elevated titers of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and/or anti-thyroglobulin (anti-Tg) antibodies. This evidence concerns the gene TG and autoimmune thyroid disease.
