Furthermore, gastric atrophy is underreported and is often considered an underdiagnosed condition in pediatrics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This report describes the case of a 13-year-old girl who initially presented with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, followed by extensive severe gastric mucosal atrophy and erosions with severe growth retardation inconsistent with autoimmune gastritis (AIG). To our knowledge, this represents the first documented case of such an extensive and severe atrophic gastritis identified in Sichuan Province, China. Genetic analysis revealed that the patient exhibited a homozygous mutation in c.229_230del; p.Gln77Valfs*2:NM_001364905.1 in the gene encoding the lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor protein (\n                      <jats:italic>LRBA<\/jats:italic>\n                      ). This mutation led to the loss of normal protein function via nonsense-mediated decay of mRNA or premature termination of the encoded amino acid sequence. This case elucidates a distinct and severe phenotype form of atrophic gastritis caused by the c.229_230del; p.Gln77Valfs*2 homozygous mutation in\n
