MedGen UID:
442697
Concept ID:
C2751292
Congenital Abnormality; Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Hypotrichosis and recurrent skin vesicles
SNOMED CT: Hereditary hypotrichosis with recurrent skin vesicles syndrome (724350009); Hypotrichosis and recurrent skin vesicles (724350009)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
 
Gene (location): DSC3 (18q12.1)

OMIM®: 613102
Orphanet: ORPHA217407

Definition

Hypotrichosis and recurrent skin vesicles (HYPTSV) is characterized by sparse to absent scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair, as well as recurrent vesicles of scalp and skin. Some patients also exhibit trauma-induced blistering, and anomalies of dental enamel and of nails may be observed (Ayub et al., 2009; Onoufriadis et al., 2020). [from OMIM]
