Epidermolysis bullosa simplex due to plakophilin deficiency(EDSFS)

MedGen UID:: 388032
•Concept ID:: C1858302
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonyms:	DSP-Related Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome; Ectodermal dysplasia skin fragility syndrome; Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome; Mcgrath syndrome; PKP1-Related Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome
SNOMED CT:	Epidermolysis bullosa simplex due to plakophilin deficiency (716699004); McGrath syndrome (716699004); Ectodermal dysplasia skin fragility syndrome (716699004)
Modes of inheritance:	Autosomal recessive inheritance MedGen UID: 141025 •Concept ID: C0441748 • Intellectual Product Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele). Autosomal recessive inheritance (Orphanet)

Gene (location): Gene(s) directly associated with this condition or phenotype.	PKP1 (1q32.1)

Definition

Ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome (EDSFS) is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by widespread skin fragility, alopecia, nail dystrophy, and focal keratoderma with painful fissures. Hypohidrosis and cheilitis are sometimes present (summary by Ersoy-Evans et al., 2006). [from OMIM]
