Abstract

Generalized vitiligo is a common autoimmune disorder in which patchy loss of skin and hair pigmentation results from loss of pigment-forming melanocytes from the involved regions. Vitiligo occurs with a frequency of about 1% in most populations, and is highly associated with other autoimmune disorders, particularly Hashimoto thyroiditis. Most cases of vitiligo are sporadic, although some cases cluster in families, and the disorder is thought to be oligogenic in origin. We have studied a large family cluster in which vitiligo and Hashimoto thyroiditis occur in numerous individuals. A whole-genome scan of 24 family members, including 14 affected with autoimmune disease, showed significant linkage of an oligogenic autoimmune susceptibility locus, termed AIS1, to a 14.4 cM interval in 1p31.3-p32.2. A two-locus analysis of Hashimoto thyroiditis in family members segregating an AIS1 susceptibility allele showed suggestive linkage to markers in chromosome 6p22.3-q14.1, in a region spanning both the major histocompatibility complex and AITD1, a susceptibility locus for autoimmune thyroid disease. Our results indicate that the 1p AIS1 locus is associated with susceptibility to autoimmunity, particularly vitiligo, in this family, and tha...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
