[Individual immunogenetic characterization of patients with diffuse toxic goiter and autoimmune thyroiditis].

Statusmetry as a variant of a method of collective image recognition was used for evaluation of integral immunogenetic characterization of patients with toxic goiter (TG) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AT). Typing of 40 HLA antigens, class I, was performed in 114 TG patients, 106 AT patients and 500 healthy subjects, however this analysis employed the frequency of expression of 26 most informative specificities (9 alleles of locus A and 17 alleles of locus B of the HLA system). Functional models and decision rules to recognize TG, AT, remission and recurrence (decompensation) of TG were worked out. Recognition probability by the zero threshold was 68.4-78.3%. It was proposed that individual immunogenetic statusmetry should be used as part of diagnostic methods for TG and AT, their differential diagnosis, and a long-term prognosis of medicinal recurrence (decompensation) of TG.
