Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) is a rare disease that results from a defective gene, SLC39A4, and is characterized by dermatitis, alopecia, and diarrhea. We report a case of AE presenting with only periorificial and acral dermatitis in which genetic testing revealed two novel compound heterozygous missense mutations for SLC39A4. This case demonstrates that not all AE mutations alter zinc transporters in the...
