Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is now known to be caused by biallelic variants in IL36RN and monoallelic variants in CARD14 and AP1S3. The presence of a modifier locus or oligogenic inheritance have been hypothesized. We report on a patient with a unique coinheritance of pathogenic variants in IL36RN (c.115+6T>C) and TNFAIP3 (c.547C>T, p.R183*) causing the genetic entities GPP and familial Behcet-like autoinflammatory syndrome (AISBL). The heterozygous variant in IL36RN identified by Sanger sequencing was inherited from his unaffected father, while the heterozygous variant in TNFAIP3 was detected by whole-exome sequencing and was also identified in the patient's AISBL-affected maternal relatives. Further functional studies are required to research whether the variant of TNFAIP3 plays a part in the development of GPP or simply causes the Behcet's disease phenotype. However, our data suggest that whole-exome sequencing for the heterozygous carrier of the IL36RN gene in GPP be used to find the potential second genetic locus.
