We aimed to estimate the incidence and familial risk of HT among first-degree relatives (FDR) according to age, sex, and family relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a population-based study in the general population of Korea from 2002 to 2017. Using the nationwide health insurance database, which has full population coverage and family relationship information, a cohort of 22 million individuals with blood-related FDR comprising 12 million families were followed up for a familial occurrence of HT. Age- and sex-adjusted incidence risk ratios (IRRs) were calculated in individuals with an affected FDR compared with those without an affected FDR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 21,940,795 individuals, 234,912 had an HT-affected FDR, of whom 2425 familial cases developed HT with an incidence of 7.12\/10,000 person-years. The familial risk for HT was 6.5-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.24\u20136.78) higher in individuals with versus without affected FDR. According to relationship, familial risks were IRR 102.71, IRR 7.80, IRR 5.54, and IRR 5.52 with an affected twin, sibling, mother, and father, respectively, and the corresponding incidence (\/10,000 person-years) was 115.57, 10.66, 5.73, and 5.91. Same-sex twins had three times higher risk of developing HT than opposite-sex twins (IRR 121.01 vs. 21.46). The sex-specific familial risk was higher in males than females. The risks demonstrated age dependence, being higher in younger age groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study represents the largest population-based study of familial HT risk in Asia. We demonstrated elevated familial risk of incident HT among FDR, but with lower magnitude as those observed in previous studies. Familial risk increased with the degree of genetic relatedness among FDR indicating a prominent role of genetic factors in the familial aggregation of HT. Elevated risks in the younger age groups should motivate clinicians to screen people with a family history, especially those &lt;30 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/thy.2020.0213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,30]],"date-time":"2021-01-30T01:30:01Z","timestamp":1611970201000},"page":"1096-1104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Familial Risk of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Among First-Degree Relatives: A Population-Based Study in Korea"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Hyun Jung","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Korea University, Seoul, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sayada Zartasha","family":"Kazmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Korea University, Seoul, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taeuk","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korean Research-Based Pharma Industry Association (KRPIA), Seoul, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seo Young","family":"Sohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Myongji Hospital, Goyang, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong-Sook","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA), Wonju, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hoo Jae","family":"Hann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Institute, College of Medicine, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyeong Sik","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Korea University, Seoul, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","first-page":"219","article-title":"Zur kenntniss der lymphomatosen veranderung der Schilddruse (Struma lymphomatosa)","volume":"97","author":"Hashimoto H","year":"1912","unstructured":"Hashimoto H. 1912.
