A defect in zinc uptake by jejunal biopsies in acrodermatitis enteropathica.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. In a system in vitro, 65Zn accumulation by jejunal mucosal biopsies from patients with acrodermatitis enteropathica was found to be markedly reduced compared with controls. 2. We suggest that defective uptake of zinc by enterocytes is the primary abnormality responsible for the zinc deficiency underlying this disorder.

We report a patient with acrodermatitis enteropathica and a normal serum zinc level in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by plasma phospholipid fatty acid and a small bowel biopsy response to oral zinc therapy. Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare autosomal recessive condition of zinc deficiency characterised by chronic diarrhoea associated with failure to thrive, periorificial dermatitis and ...

Kwashiorkor is a form of protein-energy malnutrition with a characteristic flaky paint dermatosis. Patients with kwashiorkor may have a low serum level of zinc. However, most patients fail to show the typical cutaneous manifestation of zinc deficiency, namely, acrodermatitis enteropathica. We herein reported a patient with concurrent kwashiorkor and acquired acrodermatitis enteropathica. This 2...

Lethal trait A46, also known as bovine hereditary zinc deficiency, Adema disease, and hereditary parakeratosis, is an autosomal recessive disorder first described in 1964, with a clinical presentation similar to that of acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) in humans. The molecular basis of the defect has not been previously identified. Recently, the basic defect in AE was found to lie in SLC39A4. ...
