Article Synopsis
  • APECED is a rare genetic syndrome characterized by autoimmune issues that can affect multiple systems, including the lungs, and is particularly prevalent in the Sardinian population.
  • A 49-year-old Sardinian woman with APECED presented to a bronchiectasis clinic with chronic respiratory issues, and her CT scan revealed significant bronchiectasis along with infections from P. aeruginosa, MRSA, and M. intracellulare.
  • This case marks the first known lung involvement in a Sardinian APECED patient, highlighting the need for increased awareness and earlier screening for pulmonary complications in similar patients.

High-throughput DNA sequencing has accelerated the discovery of disease-causing genetic variants, yet only in 10-40% of cases yield a genetic diagnosis. Increased implementation of genome sequencing has enabled a deeper exploration of the noncoding genome and recognition of noncoding variants as major contributors to disease. In a recent study, we identified a deep intronic variant in the AutoImmune REgulator () gene (c.

Article Synopsis
  • * Genetic analysis using trio-based exome sequencing found benign variants of the AIRE gene in all participants, which helped differentiate AAI and exclude APS type 1.
  • * The study recommends whole genome analysis in future research to discover genetic predictors of autoimmune diseases, after identifying risk alleles in patients and noting the prevalence of specific haplotypes in healthy individuals.

Article Synopsis
  • Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) is a rare genetic disease linked to mutations in the autoimmune regulator gene, affecting mainly endocrine organs but also showing autoantibody reactivity to brain structures.
  • In a study of 44 Finnish patients with APS-1, 23% were diagnosed with neurological disorders, with migraines, CNS infections, and epilepsy being the most common conditions.
  • Serum antineuronal antibodies were found in 42% of 24 tested patients, with GAD65 antibodies being prevalent, indicating a possible connection between APS-1 and neurological issues that require more research.
