(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-03-10)
      Background: Gene variants known to contribute to Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) susceptibility include those at the MHC, MICA, CIITA, CTLA4, PTPN22, CYP27B1, NLRP-1 and CD274 loci. The majority of the genetic component ...
    • Continuous Subcutaneous Hydrocortisone Infusion versus Oral Hydrocortisone Replacement for Treatment of Addison’s Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial

      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 ...
    • Quality of Life in European Patients with Addison’s Disease: Validity of the Disease-Specific Questionnaire AddiQoL 

      Øksnes, Marianne; Bensing, Sophie; Hulting, Anna-Lena; Kämpe, Olle; Hackemann, Annika; Meyer, Gesine; Badenhoop, Klaus; Betterle, Corrado; Parolo, Anna; Giordano, Roberta; Falorni, Alberto; Papierska, Lucyna; Jeske, Wojciech; Kasperlik-Zaluska, Anna A.; Chatterjee, V. Krishna K.; Husebye, Eystein Sverre; Løvås, Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-02)
      Context: Patients with Addison’s disease (AD) self-report impairment in specific dimensions on well-being questionnaires. An AD-specific quality-of-life questionnaire (AddiQoL) was developed to aid evaluation of patients. ...
