筆頭著者コメント：
Four unrelated Japanese patients were diagnosed with X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) deficiency who presented with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and long-term refractory inflammatory bowel disease. Based on the absent XIAP expression in T-cell blasts, we studied the responsible gene, XIAP, and identified four distinct mutations including a novel deletion mutation encompassing non-coding exon 1 (5’UTR) of XIAP. They all showed endoscopic findings of multiple wide and longitudinal ulcers with “scooped-out appearance” in the colon, which might be commonly observed in XIAP deficiency.
