SUMMARY The genetic polymorphisms of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and complement component C4 were investigated in 90 patients with hyperthyroid Graves' disease and 92 normal control subjects. The 8-5-kb PstI HSP70 allele was strongly associated with Graves' disease when compared with controls (P
