Description : Microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) is characterized by onset of intractable life-threatening watery diarrhea during infancy. Two forms are recognized: early-onset MVID with diarrhea beginning in the neonatal period, and late-onset, with first symptoms appearing after 3 or 4 months of life. Definite diagnosis is made by transmission electron microscopy demonstrating shortening or absence of apical microvilli with pathognomonic microvillus inclusions in mature enterocytes and peripheral accumulation of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive granules or vesicles in immature enterocytes (Muller et al., 2008). The natural course of MVID is often fatal, but partial or total weaning from parenteral nutrition has been described.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
