A Novel Chronic Enteropathy Associated with SLCO2A1 Gene Mutation: Enterography Findings in a Multicenter Korean Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 gene (CEAS) is a recently recognized disease. We aimed to evaluate the enterographic findings of CEAS.

Materials and methods

Altogether, 14 patients with CEAS were confirmed based on known SLCO2A1 mutations. They were registered in a multicenter Korean registry between July 2018 and July 2021. Nine of the patients (37.2 ± 13 years; all female) who underwent surgery-naïve-state computed tomography enterography (CTE) or magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) were identified.

Results

In initial evaluation, eight patients showed a total of 37 areas with mural abnormalities in t
