| A very rare hereditary epidermal disorder characterized by hypotrichosis/wooly scalp hair, sparse body hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, leukonychia and striate palmoplantar keratoderma (more severe on the soles than the palms), which progressively worsens with age. Pseudo ainhum of the fifth toes was also reported. Although the syndrome shares clinical similarities with both Naxos disease and Carvajal syndrome, cardiomyopathy is notably absent. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the KANK2 gene on chromosome 19p13. |
