Article Abstract

Genodermatoses are an inherited disorder, present with multisystem involvement. Help us to identify regular mutations and appalling skin diseases with recessive inheritance. Genetic heterogeneity is very common, and molecular diagnosis requires a broad effort. Recurrent mutations in unrelated families were seen in families with xeroderma, Griscelli. It seems likely that eventually oligonucleotide arrays will replace most other methods for routine mutation scanning of the more common diseases and planned sequencing will be increasingly used for rarer diseases.

Mastocytosis is categorized into cutaneous mastocytosis (CM), mast cell sarcoma and systemic mastocytosis (SM). Within SM, indolent SM (ISM) is the more frequent subtype. Adult patients with CM but without an extracutaneous biopsy are classified as having mastocytosis in the skin (MIS), a provisional diagnosis.

Objective: Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by vascularizing keratitis, hyperkeratosis, and profound sensorineural hearing loss. Skin debris and chronic otitis may render conventional hearing aids ineffective, and visual impairment may preclude use of sign language. This study assesses the unique challenges and outcomes associated with cochlear implantation (CI) in this patient population.

Background: Poikiloderma, hereditary fibrosing, with tendon contractures, myopathy, and pulmonary fibrosis (POIKTMP) is a rare genetic multisystemic fibrosing disorder caused by FAM111B gene mutations. Given its rarity, the molecular underpinnings of POIKTMP remain elusive. FAM111B, a trypsin-like serine protease, initially studied in cancer, exhibits germline variants not consistently linked to tumours, suggesting broader functions beyond cell proliferation.
