Expression of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene ADH1, which converts ethanol into carcinogenic acetaldehyde, significantly inversely correlated with the expression of CDR1 and CDR2, genes linked to azole resistance in Candida albicans isolated from chronic oral candidosis in autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidosis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED, APS-I) patients.
A novel missense mutation of AIRE gene in a patient with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidiasis and ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), accompanied with progressive muscular atrophy: case report and review of the literature in Japan.
As STAT1 mutations cause dominant chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and decreased STAT1 levels in monocytes of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome 1 (APS-1) patients, it was important to further characterize AIRE-STAT1 interactions.
Genetic screening for the AIRE gene is useful in patients with suspected type I, whereas serological screening (i.e., diabetes/adrenal antibodies) is required in patients with monoglandular autoimmunity and suspected AP.
A novel missense mutation of AIRE gene in a patient with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidiasis and ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), accompanied with progressive muscular atrophy: case report and review of the literature in Japan.
A defective form of the AIRE protein causes autoimmune destruction of target organs by disturbing the immunological tolerance of patients with a rare monogenic disease, autoimmune polyendocrinopathy (APE)-candidiasis (C)-ectodermal dystrophy (ED), APECED.
In this study we unravel the hypothesis on whether AIRE gene variants may predispose individuals to associated autoimmune conditions in 41 Italian patients affected by non-APECEDautoimmune polyendocrinopathies.
The disturbance of AIRE expression may also be responsible for autoimmune manifestations in disorders with disrupted thymic structure other than autoimmune polyendocrinopathy candidiasis and ectodermal dystrophy alone.
Since the initial recognition that Angelman syndrome is caused by maternal deficiency of the E6-AP ubiquitin E3 ligase (gene symbol UBE3A), several. other disorders of E3 ligases have been identified, including autosomal recessive juvenile Parkinson disease, the APECED form of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and congenital polycythemia.
Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasisectodermal dystrophy (APECED; also called APS-1,) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is more frequent in certain isolated populations.
Loss-of-function mutations of the Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE) gene results in organ-specific autoimmunity and disease Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy type 1 (APS1)/Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy Candidiasis Ectodermal Dystrophy (APECED).
Thrombus sizes were significantly larger in C6(+/+) treated with IgG-APS1 or with IgG-APS2 or with IgM-APS when compared with C6(+/+) mice treated with IgG-NHS or with IgM-NHS, respectively.
Although autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) may occur as a component of the monogenic autoimmune polyendocrinopathy type 1 syndrome (APS1), it is most commonly found as an isolated disorder or associated with the autoimmune polyendocrinopathy type 2 syndrome (APS2).
Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), also named as autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) type 1, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene.
Moreover, CMC is the principal, if not only, infection in patients with autosomal recessive autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome-I (mutations in AIRE).
An 8-year-old boy with autoimmune hepatitis and Candida onychosis as the first symptoms of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS1): identification of a new homozygous mutation in the autoimmune regulator gene (AIRE).
Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy - candidosis - ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), also known as autoimmune polyendocrine/polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS1), is a rare disease caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene pair resulting in absence of active AIRE protein, which is essential for both central and peripheral self-tolerance.The phenotype is widely variable.
Expression of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene ADH1, which converts ethanol into carcinogenic acetaldehyde, significantly inversely correlated with the expression of CDR1 and CDR2, genes linked to azole resistance in Candida albicans isolated from chronic oral candidosis in autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidosis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED, APS-I) patients.
This case validates and extends previous observations in kidney transplant recipients and demonstrates that endothelial activation of the AKT/mTORC pathway occurs in the damaged renal vasculature of native kidneys in APS nephropathy.
