Background: Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a frequent and disabling manifestation of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), a rare monogenic multiorgan autoimmune disease caused by the loss of central AIREcontrolled immune tolerance. Objectives: This study aimed to understand the role of the gut microbiome in APS-1 symptoms and potentially alleviate common gastrointestinal symptoms by probiotic intervention. Methods: This study characterized the fecal microbiomes of 28 patients with APS-1 and searched for associations with gastrointestinal symptoms, circulating anti-cytokine autoantibodies, and tryptophan-related metabolites. Additionally, daily doses of the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG were administered for 3 months. Results: Of 581 metagenomic operational taxonomic units (mOTUs) characterized in total, 14 were significantly associated with patients with APS-1 compared with healthy controls, with 6 mOTUs depleted and 8 enriched in patients with APS-1. Four overabundant mOTUs were significantly associated with severity of constipation. Phylogenetically conserved microbial associations with autoantibodies against cytokines were observed. After the 3-month intervention with the probiotic L rhamnosus GG, a subset of gastrointestinal symptoms were alleviated. L rhamnosus GG abundance was increased postintervention and corresponded with decreased abundances of Alistipes onderdonkii and Collinsella aerofaciens, 2 species positively associated with severity of diarrhea in patients with APS-1. Conclusions: The APS-1 microbiome correlates with several APS-1 symptoms, some of which are alleviated after a 3-month L rhamnosus GG intervention. Autoantibodies against cytokines appear to shape the gut microbiome by positively correlating with a taxonomically consistent group of bacteria. (J Allergy Clin Immunol 2021;148:876-88.)
