Clinical Description OMIM Allgrove et al. (1978) reported 2 pairs of sibs (3 boys and 1 girl) with glucocorticoid deficiency and achalasia of the stomach cardia. Three had defective tear formation (alacrima) and 1 showed other signs of autonomic dysfunction. Postmortem ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 14 families in which at least 1 member was affected with triple-A syndrome, Tullio-Pelet et al. (2000) found 5 homozygous truncating mutations (605378.0001-605378.0005) in the AAAS gene. Most of the families were consanguineous. Nine of 10 families ...
