Definition (CHV) an autoimmune diseases affecting multiple endocrine organs
Definition (NCI) A rare genetic syndrome characterized by autoantibodies production against more than one endocrine organ. The range of endocrinopathies includes hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, hypogonadism, type 1 diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism.
Definition (MSH) Autoimmune diseases affecting multiple endocrine organs. Type I is characterized by childhood onset and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CANDIDIASIS, CHRONIC MUCOCUTANEOUS), while type II exhibits any combination of adrenal insufficiency (ADDISON'S DISEASE), lymphocytic thyroiditis (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE;), HYPOPARATHYROIDISM; and gonadal failure. In both types organ-specific ANTIBODIES against a variety of ENDOCRINE GLANDS have been detected. The type II syndrome differs from type I in that it is associated with HLA-A1 and B8 haplotypes, onset is usually in adulthood, and candidiasis is not present.
