Correction: Case Report: Severe gastric atrophy associated with a novel homozygous variant in LRBA
Abstract
Atrophic gastritis is defined as the loss of gastric glands, with or without metaplasia, under chronic inflammation conditions mainly caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection or autoimmunity (1). The prevalence of atrophic gastritis is difficult to establish owing to its typically asymptomatic nature and a lack of consensus regarding its definition and diagnosis in the literature (2, 3). The incidence rate of atrophic gastritis has been reported to range from 0% to 11% per year, and approximately 1% of the patients are not infected with H. pylori (3). Atrophic gastritis in pediatric patients is rare, with an incidence rate of 0.15% (4) and it has not yet been well characterized (5). Lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor (LRBA) protein deficiency is a primary immunodeficiency disease with a prevalence of
