However, AIRE expression is correlated with thymic expression and genetic polymorphisms in the acetylcholine receptor (CHRA1), insulin, and thyroid‐stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) genes, which encode proteins that are autoantigens in myasthenia gravis, type 1 diabetes (T1D), and Graves’ disease, respectively [23, 27, 153]. Here, INS is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
