  • Title: Autoimmunity in endocrine diseases.
    Author: Rose NR, Burek CL.
    Journal: Spec Top Endocrinol Metab; 1982; 4():139-76. PubMed ID: 6304927.
    Abstract:
    The realization that autoimmunity underlies many endocrine disorders of previously unknown etiology has greatly broadened our understanding of the pathogenesis of these diseases. It has provided new explanations for their heredity and their association with particular HLA haplotypes. It has also offered new tools for diagnosing these diseases as well as monitoring their course or predicting their outcome. Finally, establishing the autoimmune basis of these diseases offers new potential for their treatment. The next quarter century of research into immunologic aspects of endocrine diseases promises to be as fruitful as the last.
