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

Abstract

A monozygous female twin pair discordant for dermatitis herpetiformis and concordant for gluten-sensitive enteropathy is reported. The diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis was verified by demonstrating granular IgA deposits in the uninvolved skin. Gluten-sensitive enteropathy was confirmed according to the ESPGAN criteria. Monozygosity was proved by the standard genetic characteristics.
