Unilateral Focal Dermal Hypoplasia (Goltz Syndrome): Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) or Goltz syndrome is a rare X-linked dominant multisystemic disease involving the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. About 95% of the cases appear de novo, and 90% of them are females.

Focal Dermal Hypoplasia with Uterus Bicornis and Renal Ectopia: Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]
Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) is a rare inherited genodermatosis with an X-linked dominant trait. FDH is associated with skin defects and other abnormalities of bone, nails, hair, limbs, teeth and eyes.

A non-mosaic PORCN mutation in a male with severe congenital anomalies overlapping focal dermal hypoplasia [PDF]
Mutations in the PORCN gene cause the X-linked dominant condition focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH). Features of FDH include striated pigmentation of the skin, ocular and skeletal malformations.

Zygotic Porcn paternal allele deletion in mice to model human focal dermal hypoplasia. [PDF]
In mouse and humans, the X-chromosomal Porcupine homolog (Porcn) gene is required for the acylation and secretion of all 19 Wnt ligands, thus representing a bottleneck in the secretion of Wnt ligands.

Growth failure in focal dermal hypoplasia. [PDF]
Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PORCN gene located on the X chromosome. Short stature was previously noted to be a common finding in FDH, however the etiology of this is unclear. The present study sought to elucidate specific causes for short stature by assessing growth charts, determining bone ages ...

A case report of focal dermal hypoplasia-Goltz syndrome [PDF]
Goltz syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder with cutaneous, ocular, dental and skeletal abnormalities. Other mesoectodermal abnormalities are also present. Its hallmark is thinning of the dermis resulting subcutaneous fat herniation.

Almost Unilateral Focal Dermal Hypoplasia. [PDF]
Focal dermal hypoplasia, caused by mutations in PORCN, is an X-linked ectodermal dysplasia, also known as Goltz syndrome. Only seven cases of unilateral or almost unilateral focal dermal hypoplasia have been reported in the English literature and there have been no previously reported cases in the Republic of Korea.
