Pitfalls in the diagnosis of apparent homozygous mutations: two cases of IL10RA deficiency inflammatory bowel disease and a literature review by Xiu Shi, Ziqing Ye, Lai Qian, Wenhui Hu, Ye Yang, Chunmeng He, Zhiheng Huang, Bingbing Wu, Ying Huang

“…Abstract Background In East Asia, IL10RA is the predominant pathogenic gene in patients with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD), frequently characterised by refractory diarrhoea and severe perianal disease, resulting in elevated death rates. IL10RA-deficient IBD, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, has been documented to be inherited through the conventional compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation patterns from both parents. …”
