X-LINKED RETICULATE PIGMENTARY DISORDER

Alternate names

X-LINKED RETICULATE PIGMENTARY DISORDER Is also known as familial cutaneous amyloidosis, mental retardation, x-linked, with dystonic movements, ataxia, and seizures, pdr, mental retardation, x-linked, syndromic 1, x-linked cutaneous amyloidosis, xlpdr, mrx36, partington syndrome, partington disease, mrxs1, mental retarda

Description

X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder is an extremely rare skin disease described in only four families to date and characterized in males by diffuse reticulate brown hyperpigmentated skin lesions developing in early childhood and a variety of systemic manifestations (recurrent pneumonia, corneal opacification, gastrointestinal inflammation, urethral stricture, failure to thrive, hypohidrosis, digital clubbing, and unruly hair and flared eyebrows), while in females, there is only cutaneous involvement with the development in early childhood of localized brown hyperpigmented skin lesions following the lines of Blaschko. This disease was first considered as a cutaneous amyloidosis, but amyloid deposits are an inconstant feature.

Most common symptoms of X-LINKED RETICULATE PIGMENTARY DISORDER

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Hypertelorism
  • Abnormal facial shape

PIGMENTARY DISORDER, RETICULATE, WITH SYSTEMIC MANIFESTATIONS, X-LINKED; PDR

Alternate names

PIGMENTARY DISORDER, RETICULATE, WITH SYSTEMIC MANIFESTATIONS, X-LINKED; PDR Is also known as xlpdr

Description

X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder shows more severe manifestations in hemizygous males compared to heterozygous females. Affected males have early onset of recurrent respiratory infections and failure to thrive resulting from inflammatory gastroenteritis or colitis. Patients also show reticular pigmentation abnormalities of the skin and may develop corneal scarring. Carrier females may be unaffected or have only pigmentary abnormalities along the lines of Blaschko (summary by Starokadomskyy et al., 2016).

Most common symptoms of PIGMENTARY DISORDER, RETICULATE, WITH SYSTEMIC MANIFESTATIONS, X-LINKED; PDR

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Failure to thrive
  • Visual impairment
