Abstract excerpt
The immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy syndrome (IPEX), is a rare disorder of immune regulation resulting in multiple autoimmune disorders, which demonstrates X-linked recessive inheritance. The disease gene, FOXP3, was identified in 2001, and several mutations within this gene have since been described in patients with IPEX. We used linkage analysis, mutational screening of the FOXP3 gene,...
