Filaggrin-Associated Atopic Skin, Eye, Airways, and Gut Disease, Modifying the Presentation of X-Linked Reticular Pigmentary Disorder (XLPDR)

ConclusionThis patient had multiple atopic manifestations affecting eye, skin, chest, and gut, complicating the presentation of XLPDR. This highlights that commonFLG polymorphisms should always be considered when assessing genotype –phenotype correlations of other genetic variation in patients with atopic symptoms. Additionally, while the patient exhibited an enhanced IFN signature, he does not have an NK cell defect, suggesting this may not be a constant feature of XLPDR.
