Abstract

Tricohepatoenteric syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in SKIV2L or TTC37. An upregulation of type 1 interferon signaling is associated with the SKIV2L variation. Introduction of Baricitinib as a JAK1/ 2 kinase inhibitor alongside traditional immunosuppressive agents successfully reduced the symptoms of enteritis by blocking the inflammogenic effects of type 1 interferonopathy in a case of tricohepatoenteric syndrome diagnosed in a 5-year-old boy.
