PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide
Abstract Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODE) are rare inherited disorders characterized by early‐onset intractable diarrhea. Though progress has been made in elucidating the genetic basis of CODE, much remains to be discovered. Another challenge is the lack of curative therapies—treatment is primarily supportive including enteral and ...

Alpha 1 antitrypsin distribution in an allergic asthmatic population sensitized to house dust mites
Background and objective Severe alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency has been clearly associated with pulmonary emphysema, but its relationship with bronchial asthma remains controversial. Some deficient alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) genotypes seem to be associated

When protein losing enteropathy persists: A case series of viral and lymphatic‐associated etiologies
Abstract Protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare condition that is characterized by loss of plasma protein in the intestines leading to hypoproteinemia with subsequent peripheral edema and possibly anasarca. The pathophysiology of PLE varies depending on the etiology and involves either intestinal mucosal injury or lymphatic system alterations ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated panniculitis: a case report
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a hereditary disorder with predominantly pulmonary but also extrapulmonary manifestations. In the skin, it is associated with panniculitis, a necrotizing neutrophilic inflammation in the subcutis. Clinically, it presents

The utility of whole exome sequencing in diagnosing Wilson disease: A case report
Abstract Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, resulting in toxic copper accumulation in the body. Diagnosis is typically based on biochemistries, including low serum ceruloplasmin and elevated 24‐h urine copper excretion, with Kayser–Fleischer (KF) rings being a supportive ...
