Data exist on the presence of thyroid autoantibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis but, as far as we could ascertain, anti-Scl-70 antibodies, which are highly specific for systemic sclerosis, have not been investigated in autoimmune hypothyroidism. This study compares the presence of anti-Scl-70 in females with autoimmune hypothyroidism ( n = 24) and in healthy age-matched female controls ( n = 26). Free thyroxine levels were similar in both groups. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), antithyroglobulin (anti-Tg) and index values for anti-Scl-70 levels were significantly higher in patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism compared with controls, although the anti-Scl-70 test was negative in both groups. Anti-TPO, anti-Tg and TSH significantly correlated with anti-Scl-70. In conclusion, autoimmune hypothyroidism seems to be associated with a higher index level of anti-Scl-70, yet a negative anti-Scl-70 antibody test. This suggests that autoimmune hypothyroidism might have common aetiological factors with systemic sclerosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/147323000803600119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,27]],"date-time":"2013-02-27T14:22:43Z","timestamp":1361974963000},"page":"152-156","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Anti-Scl-70 Antibodies in Autoimmune Hypothyroidism"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"S","family":"Ugurlu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Medical Faculty, University of Cumhuriyet, Sivas, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Caglar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, university of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Yesim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, Department of Medicine, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, university of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H","family":"Balci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Laboratory, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, university of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Tasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, Department of Medicine, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, university of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10067-005-1165-y"},{"key":"bibr2-147323000803600119","first-page":"307","volume":"148","author":"Ghayad E","year":"1997","journal-title":"Ann Med Interne (Paris)"},{"key":"bibr3-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/37.1.39"},{"key":"bibr4-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1422.032"},{"key":"bibr5-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08916930400022947"},{"key":"bibr6-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0895-4356(99)00187-0"},{"key":"bibr7-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v13.i11.1715"},{"key":"bibr8-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/EJE-06-0591"},{"key":"bibr9-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03348740"},{"key":"bibr10-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03349530"},{"key":"bibr11-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03347917"},{"key":"bibr12-147323000803600119","first-page":"719","volume":"18","author":"Moln\u00e1r I","year":"2000","journal-title":"Clin Exp Rheumatol"},{"key":"bibr13-147323000803600119","first-page":"529","volume":"15","author":"Molteni M","year":"1997","journal-title":"Clin Exp Rheumatol"},{"key":"bibr14-147323000803600119","first-page":"1873","volume":"57","author":"Masuko-Hongo K","year":"1999","journal-title":"Nippon Rinsho"},{"key":"bibr15-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1530","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.159.3.1530","volume":"159","author":"Paul S","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Immunol"},{"key":"bibr16-147323000803600119","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1529-0131(200102)44:2<376::AID-ANR56>3.0.CO;2-2"}],"container-title":["Journal of International Medical Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/147323000803600119","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/147323000803600119","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T10:41:18Z","timestamp":1777459278000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/147323000803600119"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,1]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2008,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/147323000803600119"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/147323000803600119","relation":{},"ISSN":["0300-0605","1473-2300"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0300-0605","type":"print"},{"value":"1473-2300","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,1]]}}}
