Abstract
- Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy‐candidiasis‐ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) is an inherited disorder of immunity which leads to increased risk for mucocutaneous candidiasis and multiorgan autoimmune disease. While alopecia areata (AA) has been described in some patients with APECED, the extent and timing of AA is not well established and extent and timing of concomitant vitiligo and hypothyroidism has not been described. We evaluated an APECED cohort followed at the National Institutes of Health for the timing of development of associated diseases. We found AA occurred earlier in those with APECED than in the general population, was rarely the first sign of APECED, and the timing of AA onset did correlate with the timing of onset of vitiligo or hypothyroidism which also occurred at high rates and early age.
