Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is an early onset systemic autoimmune genetic disorder caused by mutation of the gene. Enteropathy, endocrinopathy and skin manifestations are considered the classic triad of IPEX syndrome. However, patients with IPEX syndrome display a variety of phenotypes including life threatening multi-organ autoimmunity. Here, we present the case of two siblings with IPEX syndrome with the same hemizygous mutation, but with different types of symptomology at onset of the disease.
免疫调节紊乱、多内分泌腺病、肠炎、X 连锁(IPEX)综合征是一种由 基因突变引起的早发型系统性自身免疫遗传疾病。肠炎、内分泌病和皮肤表现被认为是 IPEX 综合征的经典三联征。然而,IPEX 综合征患者表现出多种表型,包括危及生命的多器官自身免疫。在这里,我们报告了两例具有相同半合子突变的 IPEX 综合征同胞患者,但疾病发病时的症状类型不同。
