- Autoimmunity prevalence is calculated over the total number of patients per karyotype and over the total 66 TS patients in each karyotype group(*). There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of thyroid autoimmunity within the different karyotype groups (χ2-test p = 0.0173). When comparing the X isochromosome group with the pooled group of other karyotypes, of note, the frequency of thyroid autoimmunity was statistically higher in this group(**).
