About Graves’ disease
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder associated with the overproduction of thyroid hormones and is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Although Graves’ disease can affect any age group or gender, it occurs often in women younger than 40 years of age. In Graves’ disease, harmful IgG autoantibodies bind to and activate the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor present on the thyroid gland, stimulating excess thyroid hormone production. Existing treatments, which include antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, and thyroid surgery, are aimed at reducing thyroid hormone levels to lessen the severity of symptoms. These treatments have remained largely unchanged for the past 70 years.
