The prognosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), including Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's disease (HD), varies among patients. B7‐H3 and B7‐H4, members of the B7 family of proteins, regulate immune response. To clarify the association of B7‐H3 and B7‐H4 with the pathogenesis and prognosis of AITDs, we examined the expression of the soluble and membrane form of B7‐H3 and B7‐H4 and genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the B7H3 and B7H4 genes.
