Table 2 Clinical clues towards specific etiologies of monogenic inflammatory bowel disease
Clinical clues | Underlying condition/affected genes |
Epidermolysis bullosa, nail dystrophy | Epithelial barrier defect (IKBKG, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17, COL7A1) |
Woolly hair, trichorrhexis nodosa | Tricho-entero-hepatic syndrome |
Severe perianal disease (rectovaginal fistula), folliculitis, and/or arthritis | IL-10 signaling pathway defects |
Abscess without pus | Leukocyte adhesion defect |
Eczema | Wisckot-Aldrich syndrome, hyper immunoglobulin E syndrome, IPEX syndrome, IKBKG defect |
Hepatosplenomegaly | Chronic granulomatous disease |
Autoimmune anemia, type 1 diabetes mellitus, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune thyroiditis, interstitial pneumonia | IPEX, IPEX-like syndromes |
No bacillus calmette-guerin scar | T cell defect |
Oral ulcer, leukoplakia | Dyskeratosis congenita 1, regulator of telomere elongation 1 |
Dysmorphic features | IKBKG, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1, glucose-6-phosphatase-catalytic subunit 3, SKIV2 L |
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, macrophage activation syndrome | X-linked inhibitors of apoptosis, mevalonate kinase, syntaxin-binding protein-2 |
Periostosis | Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1 |
Albinism | Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 1/4/6 |
Malignancy (lymphoma, gastric adenocarcinoma) | IL-10/IL-10RA/B, lipopolysaccharide-responsive and beige-like anchor protein, cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 |
Absent tonsils | Agammaglobulinemia |
