Whipple's disease (WD) is a rare, severe and chronic infectious disease that affects only a small minority of individuals infected with Tropheryma whipplei (T. whipplei). The chronic and asymptomatic carriage of T. whipplei is less rare. The pathogenesis of WD remains largely unknown. Using a genetic approach combining genome-wide linkage and whole exon sequencing, we tested the hypothesis of a genetic predisposition to WD. We studied a multiplex family containing four otherwise healthy WD patients and five asymptomatic T. whipplei carriers. We tested the hypothesis that WD follows autosomal dominant (AD) inheritance with age-dependent incomplete penetrance. We showed that the c.292 C> T mutation (p.R98W) of IRF4 gene was the only heterozyg...
