Overview
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) must be differentiated from other similar conditions which lead to multiple endocrine disorders such as thymoma, Kearns–Sayre syndrome, POEMS syndrome, and Wolfram syndrome. APS should also be differentiated among its subtypes such as APS type 1, type 2 and type 3.
Differentiating Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome From Other Diseases
Different types of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome should be differentiated from each other. The following table characterizes the differences among various sub-types of APS.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Characterstic | Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 |
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2 |
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 3 |
---|---|---|---|
Inheritance | Autosomal recessive | Autosomal dominant | X-linked |
Gene(s) involved | AIRE (transcription factor) | Polygenic | FOXP3 (transcription factor) |
HLA genotype | HLA-D3 and HLA-D4 | HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8; HLA-DRB1*0404 | None |
Pathogenesis | Autoreactive T cells escape negative selection |
Unknown |
Defective T cell regulation leading to T cell |
Age of onset | Infancy | Infancy and adulthood | Neonatal |
Clinical features (most common) |
Addison’s disease |
||
Diabetes | 18% | 20-50% | >60% |
Other manifestations |
Hepatitis, malabsorption, asplenism, oophoritis, alopecia and vitiligo |
Autoimmune gastritis, celiac disease, oophoritis and vitiligo |
Autoimmune thyroiditis, haemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and lymphadenopathy |
Gender predisposition | Equal in males and females | Females>males | Males (X-linked) |
Immunodeficiency | Immunodeficienct | No defined immunodeficiency | Immunodeficient |
Prevalence | Rare | Common | Very rare |
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) must be differentiated from other similar conditions which lead to multiple endocrine disorders such as POEMS syndrome, Hirata syndrome, Kearns–Sayre syndrome and Wolfram syndromes.[8][9][10][11][12]
Disease | Addison's disease | Type 1 diabetes mellitus | Hypothyroidism | Other disorders present |
