Dermatitis herpetiformis in monozygous twins--concordance for dermatitis herpetiformis and gluten-sensitive enteropathy

A Anstey et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 1991 Jan.

Abstract

A pair of monozygous male twins concordant for dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE) are reported. Presentation of DH in the twins was asynchronous, with one affected at the age of 20, the other at the age of 27. Neither twin had symptoms of malabsorption but duodenojejunal villous atrophy was confirmed histologically.
