Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Graves’ disease includes thyrotoxicosis, goiter, exophthalmos, and pretibial myxedema when fully expressed, but can occur with one or more of these features. Graves’ disease is a disease of “autoimmunity", but the final cause of autoimmunity remains unclear. A strong hereditary tendency is present.
