Omenn syndrome (OS) is a rare combined immunodeficiency characterized by
erythroderma, lymphadenopathy, and autoimmune manifestations. Most cases are due to
mutations in the RAG genes. We report a case of OS due to mutations of IL7RA, thus
defining Omenn syndrome as a genetically heterogeneous condition.
