Abstract excerpt
The tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene was recently identified as an important genetic susceptibility factor in several autoimmune diseases. The increased risk has been broadly explained by the 1858T-allele (rs2476601). As two smaller studies on Addison's disease (AD) have shown diverging results, we aimed to elucidate the predisposing effect of the single-nucleotide polymorphism...
