Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy and enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome due to a mutation in FOXP3, modified by a pathogenic variant in SON (SON DNA-binding protein)

Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, and X-linked, known as IPEX syndrome, is a rare heterogeneous condition. Zhu-Tokita-Takenouchi-Kim Syndrome (ZTTK) is an autosomal dominant condition arising from a mutation in the SON gene, which is involved in mRNA splicing. A case showing interactions of mutations in these two genes is described in which both conditions become non-typical.

Automated summary

This article describes a rare case of interaction between gene mutations in immune dysregulation and ZTTK syndrome, leading to atypical presentation of both conditions.
