Abstract Transient neonatal zinc deficiency ( TNZD ) has a clinical presentation similar to that of acrodermatitis enteropathica but is caused by a low zinc concentration in maternal breast milk. TNZD becomes clinically evident during breastfeeding and is resolved by weaning and the introduction of complementary nutrition. We present a 4‐month‐old girl with TNZD due to a new autosomal dominant mutation (663delC) in the maternal SLC 30A2 gene not previously described in the literature.
