AIRE mutations and polymorphisms have been found in different autoimmune manifestations correlated or not correlated to
APECED (26).

APECED)," Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, vol.
An autoimmune disease,
APECED, caused by mutations in a novel gene featuring the PHDtype zinc finger domains.
Fatal primary pulmonary hypertension in a 30-yr-old female with
APECED syndrome.
Although
APECED is generally rare, it is more frequent in certain populations: the Finnish, Iranian Jews, and Sardinians.
The
APECED gene is the first which is solely responsible for regulation of autoimmunity and could be vital to future research.
