GWAS for autoimmune Addison’s disease identifies multiple risk loci and highlights AIRE in disease susceptibility

Autoimmune Addison’s disease is a rare complex disease, which has not yet been characterized by non-biased genetic studies. Here, the authors perform the first GWAS for the disease, identifying nine loci including two coding variants in the gene Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE).
