      Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. Low prevalence and complex inheritance have long hindered successful genetic studies. We here report the first ...
    • Sensing foul AIRE: Investigating possible reporter genes for AIRE mutations 

      Berger, Amund Holte (Master thesis, 2018-06-29)
      The autoimmune regulator protein, known as AIRE, is a potent transcriptional regulator active in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) of the thymus, where it is able to switch on the expression of thousands of genes ...
    • Transcriptional Changes in Regulatory T Cells From Patients With Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1 Suggest Functional Impairment of Lipid Metabolism and Gut Homing 

      Berger, Amund Holte; Bratland, Eirik; Sjøgren, Thea; Heimli, Marte; Tyssedal, Torgeir; Bruserud, Øyvind; Johansson, Stefan; Husebye, Eystein Sverre; Oftedal, Bergithe Eikeland; Wolff, Anette Susanne Bøe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type I (APS-1) is a monogenic model disorder of organ-specific autoimmunity caused by mutations in the Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene. AIRE facilitates the expression of organ-specific ...
