have been reading the article--
the autoimmune disease is called IPEX an acronym for "immune dysregulation, polyendopathy, enteropathy, X-linked"
foxp3 was identified while cloning a gene called scurfin responsible for IPEX in mice and humans
reference:s Bennet et al 2001, Brunkow et al 2001, Chatilla et al 2000, Wildin et al 2001
Hope this helps!
