Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene variants known to contribute to Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) susceptibility include those at the MHC, MICA, CIITA, CTLA4, PTPN22, CYP27B1, NLRP-1 and CD274 loci. The majority of the genetic component to disease susceptibility has yet to be accounted for. AIM: To investigate the role of 19 candidate genes in AAD susceptibility in six European case-control cohorts. METHODS: A sequential...
