Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is typified by Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) at both ends of the disease spectrum with subclinical thyroid dysfunctions in between. Genetic associations have been described in the pathogenesis of AITD. We describe a case each of GD and HT occurring in two siblings.
