Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant genodermatosis confined to females. It is usually lethal in males. However, the survival of some males has been reported in literature. We describe a long follow-up case of a 12-year-old male with IP and a normal karyotype but a genomic deletion of
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a hereditary syndrome characterized by specific skin lesions occurring mostly during the neonatal period (96% of the cases before 6 weeks of age). These skin lesions have four steps of evolution: inflammatory or erythemato-bullous stage (very often associated with
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant neurocutaneous disorder affecting ectodermal tissue: skin, eyes, central nervous system, hair, nails, and teeth. It is usually lethal for males in utero. The involved gene is NEMO, an essential component of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare hereditary disorder that has recently been classified as a chromosomal instability syndrome. As in Fanconi anemia and ataxia telangiectasia, spontaneous and inducible chromosomal aberrations primarily of the chromatid type are increased in patients with IP. Both
BACKGROUND
Neurocutaneous syndromes (NCS) are a group of genetic disorders that produce a variety of developmental abnormalities of the skin along with an increased risk of neurological complications. Cutaneous manifestations usually appear early in life and progress with time, but neurological
Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) (incontinentia pigmenti achromians) with cerebellar atrophy and dysmorphic features is reported in a child. The association of cerebellar anomalies and HI has been previously reported in only four cases. However, since neuroimaging studies are not routinely obtained in
Phacomatoses, or neurocutaneous disorders, are a group of congenital and hereditary diseases characterized by developmental lesions of the neuroectoderm, leading to pathologies affecting the skin and the central nervous system. There is a wide range of pathologies affecting individuals at different
Neurocutaneous syndromes (or phakomatoses) are a diverse group of congenital disorders that encompass abnormalities of neuroectodermal and, sometimes, mesodermal development, hence commonly involving the skin, eye, and central nervous system. These are often inherited conditions and typically
