ABSTRACT
Serum anti-uveal autoantigen with coiled coil domains and ankyrin repeats (UACA) antibody titer was measured using ELISA in 32 patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy ( TAO ) and 20 patients with Graves' disease (GD) without ophthalmopathy.The level of anti-UACA antibody in TAO group was higher than that in GD group [ (225.91 ± 144.21 vs 187.42 ± 46.77 ) pg/ml,P<0.05 ],and especially higher in patients with ocular myopathy [ (254.35 ± 168.29 ) pg/ml ].It seems that anti-UACA antibody is the sensitive clinical marker of ocular myopathy in TAO patients.
