Genetic variants affecting the function of dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2), the catalytic subunit of membrane-bound enzymes that produce hydrogen peroxide, are associated with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD). We report the case of a 1-year-old boy diagnosed with VEO-IBD after presenting with bloody diarrhea. He had pancolitis and an extensive small intestinal ulcerative lesion at age 4 years. Infliximab treatment was successful but was discontinued due to delayed reaction. At age 7 years, treatment with ustekinumab was started, and remission has been maintained for more than 2 years. Whole-exome sequencing identified compound heterozygous missense DUOX2 variants of unknown significance (p.[R1212H];[F1490Y]). Protein expression in the whole-cell lysate and plasma membrane was lower in F1490Y-DUOX2 than in wild-type (WT)-DUOX2. Hydrogen peroxide generation upon ionomycin stimulation was lower in cells expressing R1212H-DUOX2 and F1490Y-DUOX2 than in those expressing WT-DUOX2. The novel, inherited, biallelic DUOX2 mutations may be molecular risk factors of VEO-IBD.
