Disease Associations |
Focal dermal hypoplasia (FODH) [MIM:305600]: A rare congenital ectomesodermal disorder characterized by a combination of skin defects, skeletal abnormalities, and ocular anomalies. Affected individuals have patchy dermal hypoplasia, often in a distribution pattern following the Blaschko lines, and areas of subcutaneous fat herniation or deposition of fat into the dermis. In addition, sparse and brittle hair, hypoplastic nails and papillomas have been described. Skeletal abnormalities usually comprise syndactyly, ectrodactyly, and brachydactyly, and in some cases osteopathia striata has been seen. Patients frequently have ocular anomalies, including microphthalmia/ anophthalmia, coloboma, pigmentary and vascularization defects of the retina. Dental abnormalities are often present. {ECO:0000269PubMed:17546030, ECO:0000269PubMed:17546031, ECO:0000269PubMed:18325042, ECO:0000269PubMed:19277062, ECO:0000269PubMed:19309688, ECO:0000269PubMed:19586929, ECO:0000269PubMed:19863546, ECO:0000269PubMed:21472892}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
