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...

Brief Summary: This study suggests that excessive interferon-γ–mediated responses have a pathogenic role in APS-1 and provides the foundation for therapies that affect interferon-γ–mediated disease.Commentary: Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), also known as autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidiasis, and ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), is an autosomal recessive multiorgan syndrome caused by loss-of-function variants in ...
