He developed Budd-Chiari syndrome with consequent acute liver failure that required liver transplantation when he was 12 years old. The initial graft failed to function and he required retransplantation. Steroid-resistant rejection complicated the clinical course after the second transplant. Treatment with antithymocyte globulin stabilized graft function but abdominal symptoms and enteral protein loss persisted. The patient remained dependent on intravenous albumin and immunoglobulin.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Extended work-up for thrombophilia was unremarkable. Flow cytometry analysis of the peripheral blood cells revealed an unexplained CD55 deficiency. By sequencing of CD55 and, later, exclusion of alternative rare diseases by whole-exome sequencing, we discovered a novel, likely pathogenic homozygous splice-site variant in CD55 c.578\u2009+\u20095G&amp;gt;A, NM_000574.4, OMIM 125240. The staining of liver and colon biopsies revealed a lack of CD55 protein expression.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>After initiation of treatment with eculizumab, the patient achieved and has maintained a complete clinical remission throughout 56 months of follow-up. We recommend testing for CD55 deficiency in patients with protein-losing enteropathy. In addition, CD55 deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome in whom an underlying cause is uncertain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2022-059335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,29]],"date-time":"2023-11-29T08:12:31Z","timestamp":1701245551000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["CD55
