- W2041942173 abstract "SUMMARY An increased prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) in vitiligo patients is well known. The aim of this study was firstly, to evaluate the clinical course of patients with both vitiligo and AT and secondly, to identify additional autoimmune disorders affecting the thyroid gland in a large cohort of vitiligo patients. We analysed a study group of 106 vitiligo patients and 38 controls. A detailed thyroid examination including sonography was performed in all study participants. In addition, the study participants were HLA typed and screened for various autoimmune disorders. AT was significantly more frequent in vitiligo patients than in controls (21%versus 3%; P < 0·01). In 12 of the 22 patients with AT, vitiligo was the initial disease preceding AT by 4–35 years. In the other 10 patients with AT, both vitiligo and AT were diagnosed within one year. There were two individuals with diabetes mellitus type 1 and a single patient with Addison's disease. Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-smooth muscle cell antibody, and parietal cell antibody levels occurred with a similar frequency in patients and controls. In all vitiligo patients with both elevated ANA levels and AT (n = 6), the atrophic but not the goitrous variant was diagnosed. These vitiligo patients with both AT and elevated ANA levels had a significantly smaller thyroid volume compared to the vitiligo patients with AT whose ANA levels were normal (6·7 ± 4·5 ml versus 13·4 ± 9·1 ml, respectively; P < 0·05). The same was found in the entire study group: Thyroid volume of all vitiligo patients (with or without concomitant AT) was significantly smaller in the presence of ANA (6·9 ± 5·3 versus 10·5 ± 5·9 ml, espectively; P < 0·05). However, this phenomenon was not observed in the control group. There was a trend for a decreased frequency of HLA-DR3 (6·7%versus 23%) in our study group, but after correction for the number of comparisons, no HLA-allele was statistically significant associated neither with vitiligo nor with multiple autoimmune diseases in our patient sample. Our findings suggest that AT is the most frequent autoimmune disease associated with vitiligo. In our patients, AT presented simultaneously or after the onset of vitiligo but not before. Elevated ANA levels were associated with the atrophic variant of AT and may affect the volume of the thyroid gland, and there was no statistically significant association with the HLA system." @default.
