A case report reveals atypical mucocutaneous features in a child with a novel ADAM17 mutation, suggesting expanded knowledge of NISBD1.
Neonatal inflammatory skin and bowel isease type 1 (NISBD1) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis caused by pathogenic variants in ADAM17, a gene essential for epithelial development and cytokine regulation. Affected individuals typically present during infancy with severe cutaneous inflammation, recurrent infections, fragile hair, and variable gastrointestinal involvement. We report a 4-year-old girl with an unusual constellation of mucocutaneous manifestations associated with a novel homozygous ADAM17 mutation (c.436G>A; p.Gln146Lys), thereby expanding the known phenotypic spectrum of NISBD1. This case highlights atypical NISBD1 features, including pyoderma gangrenosum-like ulcerations, pyostomatitis-like mucosal involvement, annular atrophic scarring, and absence of bowel disease.
