Olmsted syndrome, X-linked(OLMSX)

MedGen UID:
813075
Concept ID:
C3806745
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: OLMSX; Palmoplantar keratoderma, mutilating, with periorificial keratotic plaques, X-linked
 
Gene (location): MBTPS2 (Xp22.12)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010486

Definition

X-linked Olmsted syndrome (OLMSX) is a rare keratinization disorder characterized by the combination of periorificial keratotic plaques and bilateral palmoplantar transgredient keratoderma. Other clinical manifestations include diffuse alopecia, leukokeratosis of the oral mucosa, onychodystrophy, hyperkeratotic linear streaks, follicular keratosis, and constriction of the digits (summary by Yaghoobi et al., 2007). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Olmsted disease, see OLMS1 (614594). [from OMIM]

Parakeratosis
MedGen UID:
10572
Concept ID:
C0030436
Disease or Syndrome
Abnormal formation of the keratinocytes of the epidermis characterized by persistence of nuclei, incomplete formation of keratin, and moistness and swelling of the keratinocytes.
Subungual hyperkeratosis
MedGen UID:
21379
Concept ID:
C0038605
Finding
A thickening of the stratum corneum in the region beneath the nails.
Epidermal acanthosis
MedGen UID:
65136
Concept ID:
C0221270
Finding
Diffuse hypertrophy or thickening of the stratum spinosum of the epidermis (prickle cell layer of the skin).
Alopecia totalis
MedGen UID:
75525
Concept ID:
C0263504
Disease or Syndrome
Loss of all scalp hair.
Hyperkeratosis
MedGen UID:
209030
Concept ID:
C0870082
Disease or Syndrome
Hyperkeratosis is thickening of the outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, which is composed of large, polyhedral, plate-like envelopes filled with keratin which are the dead cells that have migrated up from the stratum granulosum.
