Abstract excerpt
The gene responsible for autoimmune polyendocrino-pathy candidiasis ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) recently has been positionally cloned to 21q22.3. This novel gene, AIRE, encodes for a predicted 57.7 kDa protein featuring two PHD-type zinc fingers shared by other proteins involved in chromatin-mediated tran-scriptional regulation. APECED is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by multiple...
