Congenital chloride diarrhea ( CCD ) beginning in utero is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by impairment of Cl − /HCO 3 − exchange in an otherwise normal distal ileum and colon. Life‐long secretory diarrhea is caused by mutations in solute carrier family 26, member 3 , ( SLC26A3 ), which disrupt epithelial Cl − /HCO 3 − transport in the ileum and colon. Although 55 mutations in SLC26A3 have been identified throughout the world, few J apanese cases have been confirmed on genetic analysis. We report the successful treatment of a J apanese neonate with CCD caused by SLC26A3 mutation.
