Abstract excerpt
The pathogenetic background of human autoimmunity is only partially understood. By discovering the defective gene causing the autosomal recessive polyglandular autoimmune disease type I (PGD I, APECED) we hope to provide new insights into autoimmune responses in general. Here we have taken advantage of newly developed amplifiable multiallelic microsatellite markers and performed the analyses using the microtiter...
