We applied imputation to thoroughly investigate the <em>MHC<\/em> associations with GD down to the amino acid level of classical HLA genes in 1,468 GD patients and 1,490 controls of Han Chinese. We observed the top association signal at HLA-DP\u03b21 position 205 and HLA-DPA1*02:02 was the strongest association among the classical <em>HLA<\/em> alleles, which was in perfect LD with HLA-DP\u03b11 residue Met11. Conditional analysis revealed four amino acid positions could account for most HLA association with GD in Han Chinese. HLA-DP\u03b11 Met11 might explain the risk heterogeneity between two clinical subtypes of GD, namely persistent TRAb positive (pTRAb+) group after anti-thyroid drug therapy and \u201cnon-persistent TRAb positive\u201d (pTRAb-) group after ATD therapy.
