Genetic Counseling for Skin Diseases
Dermatology, 1983A statistical study was carried out on 182 cases who seeked out genetic counseling about skin diseases. The size of the latent demand for the counseling was assessed to be as much as 3.0% of the outpatients. Most clients were in their twenties. A representative consultand was the patient’s child or sibling.

Genetic Skin Diseases With Altered Aging
Archives of Dermatology, 1997Integration, homeostasis, and redundancy of function are hallmarks of important biological processes. Individual gene defects may overcome and override normal homeostatic systems and lead to dramatic, recognizable phenotypes by profoundly altering 1 or more physiological systems.

Desmosomes and corneodesmosomes and their relevance to genetic skin diseases
Italian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology, 2017Desmosomes are critical intercellular junctions between keratinocytes in the living cell layers of the epidermis. When the cells are differentiated and become cornified cells, desmosomes are transformed into corneodesmosomes. Distribution patterns of corneodesmosomes change with cell development.

Therapies for genetic extracellular matrix diseases of the skin
Matrix Biology, 2018A specialized, highly developed dermal extracellular matrix (ECM) provides the skin with its unique mechano-resilient properties and is vital for organ function. Accordingly, genetically acquired deficiency of dermal ECM proteins or proteins essential for the post-translational modification and homeostasis of the dermal ECM, results in diseases ...

Genetic Epidemiologic Studies in the Etiology of Skin Diseases.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1994Genetic epidemiologic studies have provided critical insights into the etiology of both rare and common skin diseases. Designs for these studies are distinct from those generally employed in epidemiologic studies. Here, we review the types of data collected for various genetic epidemiologic designs, inherent strengths and weaknesses, and their ...

Gaucher's Disease: A Genetic Disease Detected in Skin Fibroblast Cultures
Science, 1968Skin fibroblasts from three adult patients with chronic noncerebral Gaucher's disease, three children of one of the patients, three parents, and six normal individuals were grown in cell culture. Giant fibroblasts containing metachromatic material were seen in all cultures derived from affected individuals and heterozygous carriers but not in those ...

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
This continuing medical education article provides a comprehensive review of the genetic underpinnings of complex autoinflammatory skin diseases, with a focus on neutrophilic dermatoses, autoinflammatory syndromes, and certain vasculitides. Genetic mutations play a critical role in both the diagnosis and management of these conditions, making a ...

Bodies in Skin: A philosophical and Theological Approach to Genetic Skin Diseases
Journal of Religion and Health, 2009This contribution evolved from my work in a European network and is dedicated to the rare genetic skin diseases. To gain a deeper knowledge about the question, what it means to suffer from a genetic skin disease, I have discussed the concepts of skin in philosophical and theological anthropology. Presuming that ancient interpretations of skin diseases (
