Overview
The diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) is made on the basis of presence of organ-specific antibodies (serological measurement) followed by functional testing. Few examples of organ-specific antibodies include autoantibodies against 21-hydroxylase, 17-hydroxylase, GAD, islet cells, thyroglobulin, thyroid peroxidase, intrinsic factor and tyrosinase. Genetic analysis may be done in suspected patients of APS for AIRE or FOXP3 gene mutation. Patients presenting with a single endocrine pathology should always be considered for other endocrine organ dysfunction. Patients with the autoimmune endocrine disorder are always at a risk of developing autoimmune conditions of other endocrine organs.
Diagnostic Criteria
The diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) is made on the basis of presence of organ-specific antibodies (serological measurement) followed by functional testing. Few examples of organ-specific antibodies include autoantibodies against 21-hydroxylase, 17-hydroxylase, GAD, islet cells, thyroglobulin, thyroid peroxidase, intrinsic factor and tyrosinase. Genetic analysis may be done in suspected patients of APS for AIRE or FOXP3 gene mutation.[1][2][3][4]
- The diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 1 is made when at least 2 of the following 3 conditions are present
OR
- 1 of the following 3 is present, if a first-degree relative is already diagnosed:[5]
- The diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 2 is made in the presence of Addison's disease with autoimmune thyroiditis (Schmidt's syndrome) and/or together with diabetes mellitus type I.
- The diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 3 is made in the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis with presence of any of the following conditions:
- Immune mediated diabetes
- Pernicious anemia
- Vitiligo/alopecia
