A Hellesen , E Bratland , ES Husebye

To read the full abstract: Ann Endocrinol (Paris). 2018; 79(3): 157–163.This review summarizes the current knowledge regarding the genetic susceptibility to autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) and the genes outside the MHC complex associated with AAD. Fourteen genes (CTLA-4, PD-L1, PTPN22, NALP1, STAT4, CIITA, BACH2, FCRL3, GPR174, GATA3, NFATC1, CLEC16A, CYP27B1, and VDR) have ...

Nat Commun. 2021 Feb 11;12(1):959.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33574239/The authors report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) in 1223 cases (defined as autoimmune adrenal failure plus positive serum autoantibodies against 21-hydroxylase) and 4097 healthy controls. Patients with APS-1 were identified and excluded. They identified 9 genome-wid...
