Overview

Common causes of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome include mutation in AIR gene, FOXP3 gene and certain HLA alleles such as DR3/DQ2, DR4/DQ8 and DRB1*0404.

Causes

Genetic Causes

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome is caused by a mutation in:

  • APS type I: APS type 1 is due to a defect in AIRE (autoimmune regulator), a gene located on chromosome 21.[1][2]
    • The genetic locus is on short arm (p) of chromosome 21 at 21p22.3.
    • The normal function of AIRE gene is to confer immune tolerance for antigens present in the body.
    • The mutated AIRE gene results in the loss of self tolerance - a process by which developing T cells with potential reactivity for self-antigens are eliminated during early differentiation in the thymus.
    • According to a Finnish study the mutation R257X is responsible for 82% of APS type 1 cases in Finland.
  • APS type 2: APS type 2 is not a single gene disorder and has a complex inheritance pattern.[3][4][5]
    • The highest genetic risk for APS type 2 maps to the HLA locus. Other low risk genes include CLTA4 and PTPN22.
      • The strongest association for APS type 2 is with HLA DR3/DQ2 (DQ2:DQA1*0501, DQB1*0201), DR4/DQ8 (DQ8:DQA1*0301, DQB1*0302), DRB1*0404 and this syndrome inherits in an autosomal dominant fashion.
  • APS type 3 or XPID: This is due to a mutation in the FOXP3 gene on the X chromosome.[6][7]
    • The FOXP3 gene is located on chromosome Xp11.3-q13.3
    • FOXP3 plays a critical role in the function of CD4+ CD25+ T regulatory cells.
