Do you know this syndrome? Dyspigmentation along the Blaschko lines caused by trisomy 7 mosaicism*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dyspigmentation along the Blaschko lines is strongly suggestive of a mosaic skin disorder. We report a 9-year-old male patient who presented with swirls and streaks of both hypo and hyperpigmentation involving the entire body. Additionally, he had hypertrichosis, musculoskeletal and minor neurodevelopment abnormalities but no intellectual disability. Cultured fibroblast displayed trisomy 7 mosaicism, which can explain this pigmentary phenotype. Widespread dyspigmentation associated with involvement of other organs should prompt systemic examination to detect additional anomalies and genetic evaluation should be considered, even with normal fetal karyotype.

Hypomelanosis of Ito-A Case of Pigmentary Mosaicism Associated with Partial Trisomy of Chromosome 20
Introduction: Hypomelanosis of Ito is characterized by hypopigmentation along the lines of Blaschko, evident at birth or during childhood, in combination with variable extra cutaneous findings, mainly affecting the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system and eyes. Most common lyis caused by chromosomal mosaicism associated with a variety of changes in structure or number of autosomes or ...
متن کاملAberrant melanoblast migration associated with trisomy 18 mosaicism.
A patient is reported with mental retardation, facial and body asymmetry, and hyperpigmented areas limited to the right side of the body. Cytogenetic studies revealed trisomy 18 in 50% of peripheral blood lymphocytes; fibroblast cultures from the hyperpigmented area showed pure trisomy 18, while the karyotype on the unaffected side was normal. This could be an example of the 'lines of Blaschko'...

We report an extremely rare case of Turner syndrome mosaicism in a 30-year-old woman. At least 100 metaphases were observed and analyzed through GTG banding with over 550 band resolutions observed. G-banded chromosome analysis revealed a mosaic female karyotype involving 3 different cell lines. One cell line (90% of the analyzed metaphases) presented monosomy X, while 6% of the cells showed tri...
متن کاملUnilateral psoriasis along Blaschko lines: A case report
Linear psoriasis is a rare entity which is commonly confused with inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus. We report a 25-year-old man who had linear psoriasis along Blaschko lines in a unilateral distribution on the left side of the body. Our diagnosis was based on a combination of historical, clinical, histopathological evidence and response to treatment.
متن کاملAsymmetry and skin pigmentary anomalies in chromosome mosaicism.
We report six persons mosaic for a chromosome anomaly. All were mentally retarded and dysmorphic. Unilateral or asymmetrical features were found in all cases, in one an unusual transverse terminal limb anomaly, and in the others various degrees of hemiatrophy of the left side of the body. Five of the subjects had skin pigmentary anomalies which were distributed in the lines of Blaschko. The abn...
