Inflammatory bowel disease and guillain barre syndrome in FCHO1 deficiency

Abstract

To the Editor: FCH And Mu Domain Containing Endocytic Adaptor 1 (FCHO1) gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, a biological process that maintains cellular functions in signaling, nutrient- and growth factor- uptake, and diferentiation [1–3]. Recently, biallelic mutations in FCHO1 were linked to a combined immunodefciency that is characterized by recurrent infections caused by bacteria, viruses, mycobacteria, fungi, T cell lymphopenia, and hypogammaglobulinemia [4, 5].
