Genome-wide copy number variation (CNV) in patients with autoimmune Addison's disease
18 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Addison's disease (AD) is caused by an autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. The pathogenesis is multi-factorial, involving genetic components and hitherto unknown environmental factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate if gene dosage in the form of copy number variation (CNV) could add to the repertoire of genetic susceptibility to autoimmune AD. METHODS: A genome-wide study...
