The autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes are diverse, and their diversity is a characteristic that is both clinically important and instructive when their basic immunologic features are considered (Table 1).^1,2,3,4 These syndromes include monogenic disorders (such as autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type I, which has classic and characteristic disease associations⁵) and complex genetic disorders (such as autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type II, in which the component diseases are more variable⁶ ). Some of the component disorders are common (e.g., thyroid autoimmunity and celiac disease), whereas others are rare (e.g., Addison's disease and myasthenia gravis). Some of the disorders are usually asymptomatic . . . [Full Text of this Article]
