Overview

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) are a group of rare autoimmune disorders. APS type 2 is the most commonly seen autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome. The incidence of APS type 2 is estimated to be 1-2 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence of APS type 2 is estimated to be 1-4 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Most cases of APS type 1 and type 2 are symptomatic by early thirties, while APS type 3 is generally seen in the fourth to sixth decade of life. APS usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. In APS type 1, type 2 and type 3 females are more commonly affected than men.

Epidemiology and Demographics

The epidemiology and demographics of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) is as follow:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Incidence

  • The incidence of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 2 is estimated to be 1-2 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
  • The most common autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome seen among the general population is APS type 2.
  • APS type 1 and type 3 are very rare and extremely rare conditions respectively. Therefore no precise data is available for their incidence.

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 2 is estimated to be 1-4 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
  • APS type 1 and type 3 are very rare and extremely rare conditions respectively. Therefore no precise data is available for their prevalence.
  • APS type 1 is a very rare disorder and seen mostly in Iran, Sardinia and Finland.
    • The prevalence of APS type 1 is estimated to be 11 cases per 100,000 in Iranian Jews.
    • The prevalence of APS type 1 is estimated to be 7 cases per 100,000 in Sardinians.
    • The prevalence of APS type 1 is estimated to be 4 cases per 100,000 in Finland.

Age

  • Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 1 commonly affects children of age group 3-5 years or in 13-15 years of age.
  • Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 2 commonly affects adults in the third and fourth decade of life.
  • Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 3 commonly affects elderly women during fourth to sixth decades of life but may occur at any age.
  • Most cases of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 1 and type 2 are symptomatic by early thirties.

Race

  • Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race.

Gender

  • In autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1, type 2 and type 3 females are more commonly affected than men.

Region

  • The majority of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 cases are reported in Finland, Sardinia and Iran. It can be attributed to consanguineous marriages and/or clustering of descendants of common family founders. Other less frequent regions include Norway, Germany, northern Italy and northern Britain.
