Autoimmune polyglandular disease type I (APECED) is an autosomal recessive autoimmune disease characterized by a variable combination of the failure of the endocrine glands. The pathogenesis of this unique autoimmune disease is unknown; unlike many other autoimmune diseases, APECED does not show association to specific HLA haplotypes. Unravelling the APECED locus will identify a novel gene outside the HLA loci influencing the outcome of autoimmune diseases. We have assigned the disease locus to chromosome 21q22.3 by linkage analyses in 14 Finnish families. Linkage disequilibrium studies have significantly increased the informativeness of the analyses and helped to locate the critical DNA region for the APECED locus to just 500 kilobases, a much more precise definition than linkage analyses alone could achieve.
