Abstract
Type 1 autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (type 1APS) is a rare genetic disease resulting from mutations in the AIRE gene. Diagnostics of this pathology is based not only on the results of genetic studies but also on the measurement of the level of antibodies against type 1 interferons, such as interferon-ω and interferon-α2. The present review of the literature is focused on type 1 interferons, anti-interferon antibodies, and pathophysiological characteristics of the processes induced by these antibodies.
