How many epidermal nevus syndromes exist?: A clinicogenetic classification

摘要: The term epidermal nevus syndrome is not suitable to describe an entity because there are different birth defects associated with nevi. A new classification proposed distinguish three well-defined syndromes, each recognizable by a type of nevus. sebaceous and the Proteus most likely due autosomal lethal mutations therefore always occur sporadically, whereas CHILD can be transmitted from mother her daughter as X-linked dominant, male-lethal trait. Moreover, comedonicus regarded closely related this group disorders. It may represent another mutation that survives mosaicism. In addition, several less phenotypes nevi reviewed. Some them entities in limbo.
