CRP and autoimmune thyroid disease: Under the primary IVW analysis method, gPTSD was significantly positively associated with risk of autoimmune thyroid disease (beta = 0.150, SE = 0.018, p = 0.0001) and CRP (beta = 0.090, SE = 0.018, p = 4.3 × 10−7) after Bonferroni correction (Fig. 3 and Table 1).
