Multiple autoimmunity and epitope spreading in monozygotic twins
We report clinical, serologic, and immunogenetic studies of a set of monozygotic male twin patients who develop autoimmune thyroiditis and vitiligo associated with the HLA-DRB1*04-DQB1*03:02 and HLA-DRB1*03-DQB1*0201 haplotypes. The patients had detectable anti-thyroid and anti-melanocyte autoantibo...
