abstract = {Pernicious anemia (PA) is an autoimmune disease (AID) which
is caused by lack of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) due to its
impaired uptake. PA is a multifactorial disease which is
associated with a number of other AID comorbidities and
which is manifested as part of autoimmune polyglandular
syndrome. Due to the shortage of family studies on PA, we
planned to address the problem by assessing familial risks
for concordant PA between family members and for discordant
PA in families of other AID patients.We collected data on
patients diagnosed with AIDs from the Swedish hospitals and
family data from a population register. We calculated
standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) in families for
concordant and discordant risks.The number of PA patients in
the offspring generation (for which the familial risk was
calculated) was 7701; 278 $(3.6\%)$ patients had a family
history of PA. The population prevalence of PA was 0.9/1000.
The familial risk for PA was 3.88 when any first-degree
relative was the proband, equal for men and women. The
familial risk was two times higher between siblings than
between offspring and parents which may be due to complex
genetic background. Associations of PA with 14 discordant
AIDs were significant; these included some AIDs that have
previously been described as comorbidities in PA patients
and several yet unreported associations, including
rheumatoid arthritis and other AIDs.The familial risks for
PA were high suggesting multifactorial genetic etiology. The
results call for further population-level studies to unravel
mechanisms of familial PA which may help to understand the
etiology of this disease.},
