Acrodermatitis enteropathica

A disorder of ZINC metabolism that can either be inherited or acquired. In both cases, zinc is not absorbed from the intestine, resulting in pustular DERMATITIS; DIARRHEA, and nail dystrophy. Emotional disturbances may also occur. The inherited form is caused by mutations in the SLC39A4 gene. The acquired form can result from diets lacking the appropriate amount of zinc. OMIM: 201100
