[We tested the high a priori possibility that well-established non-HLA autoimmunity loci were involved in APSII and confirmed five association signals to APSII, namely: (1) two T1D-associated SNPs, in CTLA4 and IL2RA, suggest their involvement in T1D pathogenesis in this cohort; (2) two SNPs in STAT4 and IL15 not previously associated to endocrinopathies, are possibly involved in co-occurrence of organ autoimmunity in APSII, and; (3) one SNP in TNF alpha showed association to APSII irrespective of AD.].
