Brief summary: The authors designed a polygenic risk score (PRS) to aid in estimating disease susceptibility in patients with autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD).Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) is the most common cause of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in adults. Despite its exceptionally high heritability, tools to estimate disease susceptibility in individual patients are lacking (1–3). The aim of this study was t...
