    • BACKGROUND: Autoimmune disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Addison's disease, the adrenal glands are targeted by destructive autoimmunity. Despite being the most common cause of primary adrenal failure, little is known about its aetiology.METHODS: To understand the genetic background of Addison's disease, we utilized the extensively characterized patients of the Swedish Addison Registry. We developed an extended exome capture array comprising a selected set of 1853 genes and their potential regulatory elements, for the purpose of sequencing 479 patients with Addison's disease and 1394 controls.RESULTS: We identified BACH2 (rs62408233-A, OR = 2.01 (1.71-2.37), P = 1.66 × 10(-15) , MAF 0.46/0.29 in cases/controls) as a novel gene associated with Addison's disease development. We also confirmed the previously known associations with the HLA complex.CONCLUSION: Whilst BACH2 has been previously reported to associate with organ-specific autoimmune diseases co-inherited with Addison's disease, we have identified BACH2 as a major risk locus in Addison's disease, independent of concomitant autoimmune diseases. Our results may enable future research towards preventive disease treatment.

  • Co-aggregation and heritability of organ-specific autoimmunity: a population-based twin study
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Endocrinology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0804-4643 .- 1479-683X. ; 182:5, s. 473-480

    • Objective: Co-aggregation of autoimmune diseases is common, suggesting pa rtly shared etiologies. Genetic factors are believed to be important, but objective measures of environ mental vs heritable influences on co-aggregation are absent. With a novel approach to twin studies, we aimed at esti mating heritability and genetic overlap in seven organspecific autoimmune diseases. Design: Prospective twin cohort study. Methods: We used a cohort of 110 814 twins to examine co-aggregation an d heritability of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, atrophic gastritis, celiac disease, Graves' disease, type 1 dia betes, vitiligo and Addison's disease. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated for twins developing the same or different disea se as compared to their co-twin. The differences between monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs were used to estim ate the genetic influence on co- aggregation. Heritability for individual disorders was calculated using stru ctural equational modeling adjusting for censoring and truncation of data. Results: Co-aggregation was more pronounced in monozygotic twins (media n HR: 3.2, range: 2.2-9.2) than in dizygotic twins (median HR: 2.4, range: 1.1-10.0). Heritability was moder ate for atrophic gastritis (0.38, 95% CI: 0.23-0.53) but high for all other diseases, ranging from 0.60 (95% CI: 0.49-0. 71) for Graves' disease to 0.97 (95% CI: 0.91- 1.00) for Addison's disease. Conclusions: Overall, co-aggregation was more pronounced in monozygotic tha n in dizygotic twins, suggesting that disease overlap is largely attributable to genetic factors. Co- aggregation was common, and twins faced up to a ten-fold risk of developing diseases not present in their co-twin. Our r esults validate and refine previous heritability estimates based on smaller twin cohorts.
