Multimorbidity in Pediatric Dermatology: Clinical Case
Background. Nowadays, dermatoses with mixed clinical picture and resistant to classical management become more common. The presence of various genetic disorders typical for most chronic dermatoses may indicate possible combination of several nosologies ...

Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis [PDF]
The gene encoding human desmoglein 4 (DSG4) was recently cloned, and a mutation in this gene has been reported in several consanguineous Pakistani families affected with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis (LAH). In addition, various mutations in

An Autosomal Recessive Mutation of DSG4 Causes Monilethrix through the ER Stress Response [PDF]
Monilethrix is a hair shaft anomaly characterized by beaded hair with periodic changes in hair thickness. Mutations in the desmoglein 4 (DSG4) gene reportedly underlie the autosomal recessive form of the disease.

Monilethrix with variable expressivity
Monilethrix is a rare autosomal dominant hair shaft disorder with variable expressivity. It usually presents with short broken scalp hairs and follicular hyperkeratosis. Light microscopy of hair reveals a beaded appearance. Here, we report the case of a 32-year-old male who presented with sparse hair and follicular keratotic papules in the absence of ...

Linkage of Monilethrix to the Trichocyte and Epithelial Keratin Gene Cluster on 12q11-q13 [PDF]
Monilethrix is characterized by beaded or moniliform hair, which results from the periodic thinning of the hair shaft. The beaded hair thus produced is subject to excess weathering and premature fracturing at the internodes.

Dermoscopy is a noninvasive tool that enables the visualization of skin lesions with magnification, allowing for more accurate diagnosis. Over the years, it has evolved from a utility in differentiation between malignant and benign neoplasms to administration in the vascular, inflammatory, and infectious dermatoses.
