Falorni A et al. - Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) results from the immune-mediated destruction of adrenocortical cells. AAD is a major component of the autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes type 1 (APS 1) and type 2. The adrenal autoimmune process is made evident by the apperance of circulating autoantibodies against the steroidogenic enzyme 21-hydroxylase. Detection of 21-hydroxylase in patients with endocrine autoimmune diseases enables the identification of subjects with preclinical AAD.
