Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), is a subtype of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (autoimmune polyglandular syndrome). It causes the dysfunction of multiple endocrine glands due to autoimmunity. It is a genetic disorder, inherited in autosomal recessive fashion due to a defect in the AIRE gene (autoimmune regulator), which is located on chromosome 21 and normally confers immune tolerance.cite-ref-nih-1-0[1]cite-ref-nih2-2-0[2]cite-ref-3[3]

Cause
APS-1 is caused by a mutation in the AIRE gene, encoding a protein called autoimmune regulator. This is found on the 21q22.3 chromosome location, hence chromosome 21.cite-ref-nih-1-1[1]cite-ref-nih2-2-1[2]cite-ref-6[6] The AIRE gene may be affected by any of at least 186 mutations.cite-ref-hgmd-7-0[7] APS-1 may be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.cite-ref-pmid9837820-8-0[8]
Different mutations are more common in different geographic regions. R139X is a common mutation in Sardinia.cite-ref-1-4-9[4] R257* is a common mutation in Finland.cite-ref-2-5-1[5] Both of these mutations are nonsense mutations: the asterisk and the "X" both indicate a stop codon.cite-ref-hgmd-7-1[7] A 13-base-pair deletion in the AIRE gene, c.967-979del13bp, has been identified in APS-1 patients in Norway, Britaincite-ref-pmid9837820-8-1[8] and North America.cite-ref-9[9]cite-ref-10[10]
Pathophysiology
APS-1 is due to problems with immune tolerance.cite-ref-11[11] APS-1 causes considerable reactions with both interferon omega and interferon alpha.cite-ref-1-4-10[4]cite-ref-0-12-0[12] There may also be a reaction against interleukin 22.cite-ref-1-4-11[4] This leads to damage to endocrine organs.cite-ref-1-4-12[4] Common problems include hypercalcaemia and nephrocalcinosis (due to a lack of calcitonin from the thyroid), and pituitary problems (such as growth hormone deficiency).cite-ref-1-4-13[4] Antibodies against NLRP5 may lead to hypoparathyroidism.
Diagnosis
Treatment
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 treatment is based on the symptoms that are presented by the affected individual. Treatments may involve hormone therapy,cite-ref-pha-13-0[13] systemic antifungal treatments,cite-ref-1-4-14[4]cite-ref-pha-13-1[13] and immunosuppression.cite-ref-pha-13-2[13] The JAK-STAT inhibitor ruxolitinib is being investigated as a treatment specifically for its normalizing effect on interferon-gamma.cite-ref-14[14]
