IPEX syndrome

Definition

IPEX syndrome is a fatal disorder characterized by immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy and X-linked inheritance. This disease is caused by mutations in FOXP3, a critical regulator of T-cell homeostasis. Clinically, IPEX manifests most commonly with diarrhea, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, and eczema.
