Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are classified into four main categories, APS1-APS4. APS1 is caused by AIRE gene loss of function mutations, while the genetic background of the other APS remains to be clarified. Here, we investigated the potential association between AIRE gene promoter Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to APS. We sequenced the AIRE gene promoter of 74 APS...
