Overall, we found few differences between the groups, although deviant expression was observed for the genes TMEM39B, SKIDA1, TLN2, GPR15, FASN, BCAR1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DRA, GPSM3 and AKR1C3. Of significant interest, the consistent downregulation of GPR15 may indicate failure of Treg gut homing which could be of relevance for the gastrointestinal manifestations commonly seen in APS-1. The gene discussed is AKR1C3; the disease is autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.
