MADAM, Familial chilblain lupus is a rare form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus characterized by cold-induced skin lesions at acral locations. 1 It is caused by mutations in TREX1 (3¢ repair exonuclease) or SAMHD1 (sterile alpha motif and HD-containing 1). 2–4 To date only three cases have been described. Biallelic mutations in both genes cause Aicardi–Goutieres syndrome (AGS), an inflammatory encephalopathy featuring signs of systemic autoimmunity. 5, 6 We report two novel cases of heterozygous TREX1 mutations, one inherited mutation (D18N) leading to familial chilblain lupus and one de novo mutation (D18H) where chilblain lupus occurs within the context of AGS.Patient 1 is a 15-year-old white boy with a history of coldinduced acral skin lesions since infancy. At 9 years of age he presented with ulcerating lesions on fingers, toes, ears and nose. In addition, a hypoplastic left little finger was noted (Fig. 1a, b). Blood count, urinalysis, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C3 and C4 complement levels were unremarkable. Tests for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and cryoglobulins were negative. At 14 years of age he developed a photosensitive rash on the face and the dorsum of hands and wrists. Repeated ANA testing was negative. Histology of lesional skin revealed a vacuolar interface dermatitis consistent with lupus erythematosus (Fig. 1c, d). Hydroxychloroquine was started and the rash resolved. He was treated with prednisone during flares and maintained on nifedipine. The father, paternal grandfather and paternal half-sister reported similar skin symptoms beginning in childhood. ANA titres of 1: 160 and 1: 80 were measured in the father and grandfather, respectively. Patient 2 was born to a healthy nonconsanguineous white couple. Birth weight, length and head circumference were within normal limits. Following an unremarkable neonatal period, hypotonia, dystonia and decelerated head growth were noticed at 4 months of age. Laboratory investigations were unremarkable except for elevated liver enzymes. Tests for common perinatal viral infections were negative. Brain imaging revealed immature myelination, atrophy, and basal ganglia calcification. Pleocytosis and a raised interferon (IFN)-o level of 50 IU mL) 1 were measured in cerebrospinal fluid. At 5 years of age the child developed stomatitis and chilblain lupus which exacerbated during winter (Fig. 1e–h). Screening for autoantibodies was positive for perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. At the current age of 9 years, the patient exhibits spastic tetraparesis and severe developmental delay.
