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
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome must be differentiated among its subtype. The following table characterises the difference among various subtypes 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 |
Autoimmune thyroiditis | |
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 | Immunodeficienct |
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 |
