Abstract excerpt
Triple A syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from deleterious mutations in the AAAS gene located on chromosome 12q13. Typical clinical presentation of this syndrome includes adrenal insufficiency, achalasia, and alacrima. A 10-year-old female was diagnosed with Triple A syndrome at the age of 1 year.
