It now appears unequivocal that three markers exist in a linkage group in chromosome 6 of man: HLA-A, HLA-B and PGM3 (Fig. 1.) Tentatively, two other HLA loci and one Ir gene have been mapped close to HLA-B. The probable map order is HLA-A - HLA-C - HLA-B - HLA-D - Ir. The biological functions of these loci are unknown. However, HLA-A, B and C are important in allograft rejection. Other closely linked loci (HDR, CML) appear to be important in the first events of the allograft rejection (first set) and in generation of killer cells. HLA-D might be important in cellular recognition and graft-versus-host reactions (matching at HLA-D decreases the incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease), and the Ir genes in the defense against infections. HLA-B and HLA-D loci are important markers in studies of disease susceptibility. HLA-B locus antigens HLA-B27 and HLA-B8 are frequently associated with arthritic or autoimmune disorders. HLA-D determinants have been found in association with multiple sclerosis and C2 deficiency (HLA-DW2); juvenile diabetes and Addison's disease (HLA-DW3) and adult type of rheumatoid arthritis (HLA-DW4).

In examination of 123 patients with diabetes mellitus. Itsenko-Cushing disease, Addison's disease, thyrotoxicosis and adiposity there was revealed an increase in the content of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the blood. Comparison of the ACTH and cortizol concentration in the blood permitted to suppose a different mechanism of the derangements revealed. An increase of the adrenocorticotropic function of the hypophysis in diabetes mellitus, Itsenko-Cushing disease and thyrotoxicosis was accompanied by a rise in the blood cortizol level. A fall of glucocorticoid function of the adrenal glands in Addison's disease and a relative hypocorticism in the patients with adiposity caused a compensatory intensification of the ACTH secretion.

We report on two children with both Addison's disease and diabetes mellitus, a rare occurrence in children. One of the children first developed Addison's disease and later developed diabetes mellitus, while the other had the onset of diabetes mellitus first and later Addison's disease. In the latter patient a direct relationship was shown between the insulin dose and adrenal cortical hormone. Organ-specific antibody studies are reported and the diagnosis and management of these combined endocrinopathies are discussed.

In a baby born to a mother who had idiopathic (autoimmune) Addison's disease and gestational insulin-dependent diabetes, antibodies to adrenal cortex and to pancreatic islet cells were demonstrated in the cord blood and serum for at least 41 days. There was no clinical or objective evidence of adrenocortical failure or of disturbed carbohydrate tolerance in the baby.

The occurrence of diabetes mellitus and Addison's disease together is discussed by the authors. The female patient described here had diabetes at the age of four; Addison's disease appeared when the patient was 19 years old. Four years prior to the appearance of Addison's disease, an ophthalmoscopic examination revealed microaneurysms. The examination of the fundus of the eye was negative when Addison's disease, was diagnosed. An HLA-B8 antigen positivity was established. The authors discussed the pathogenetic relationship of HLA-B8 antigen positivity, diabetes mellitus, and Addison's disease.

The article reports on a 14-year old boy who developed diabetes mellitus juvenilis when he was twelve years old. In his fourteenth year of life, an insufficiency of the adrenal cortex appeared as an additional symptom, followed half a year later by hypothyrosis. The article discusses the aetiological aspects. References are added regarding the combination of Addison's disease and diabetes mellitus in children and juveniles.

Three persons in a kindred of 43 had variable expression of a syndrome consisting of immunoglobulin A deficiency, diabetes mellitus, malabsorption, and a common HLA haplotype. Findings from the proband included life-threatening malabsorption; idiopathic intestinal mucosal atrophy with infalmmation; IgA deficiency and antibodies to multiple endocrine organs; insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; and the major histocomptability antigens HLA-A2, B8, and DW3. In addition to the described syndrome other conditions present in the family include Graves' disease, vitiligo, hypocomplementemia, rheumatic fever, multiple sclerosis, and a high frequency of antibodies to endocrine tissue. Since Graves' disease, diabetes mellitus, and idiopathic Addison's disease have all been described in association with HLS-B8 and DW3, we believe that the occurrence of these diseases in this family suggests that a single immune response gene or gene complex is linked with HLA-B8 and DW3.

The content of thyrotropic hormone of the hypophysis (by radioimmunological method) and the level of thyrotropic hormones in the blood plasma were studied in 178 patients with various endocrine pathology (thyrotoxicosis, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, Itsenko-Cushing disease, Addison's disease, adiposity). Healthy persons (33) served as control. Thyrotropic function of the hypophysis proved to be decreased in thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, adiposity, Itsenko-Cushing disease. Comparison of the plasma level of thyrotropin and thyroid hormones led to a supposition on a different mechanism of the detected changes. A marked intensification on the thyrotropic function of the hypophysis was observed in primary hypothyroidism. A tendency to increase of thyrotropin discharge was noted in the patients suffering from thyrotoxicosis given antithyroid treatment and in Addison's disease.

Addison's disease, when caused by idiopathic atrophy of the adrenal cortex, is frequently associated with other endocrine abnormalities. Primary hypothyroidism and hypogonadism have been reported in association with adrenal insufficiency; understandably, such cases may lead to diagnostic confusion with respect to possible pituitary disease. This case study concerns a woman who exhibited, in sequence and over a period of 17 years, hypogonadism, hypoadrenalism, diabetes mellitus and, finally, hypothyroidism. Originally misdiagnosed as having Sheehan's syndrome, she eventually became hyperpigmented. The true nature of her illness was then revealed to be primary insufficiency of multiple endocrine glands, with the demonstration of elevated levels of several pituitary hormones. Because multiple endocrine insufficiencies may coexist or develop with time, we suggest that a patient with a single documented endocrine deficiency be investigated initially and serially for additional glandular deficiencies.
