Naegeli(-Franceschetti-Jodasson) syndrome and Dermatopathia Pigmentosa Reticularis are allelic disorders, both characterized by a congenital generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and other ectodermal symptoms. The disorders differ in their primary pigmentation localization and hair and dental manifestations. They resemble Dyskeratosis Congenita and Poikiloderma Clericuzio type in many of the skin changes, but especially the presence of leukoplakia and bone marrow disfunctioning in the first, and of teleangectasias, generalized hyperkeratosis of palms and soles, and nail pachyonychia in the latter are distinguishing features. Here we present two unrelated patients who have prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, developmental delay, generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, hypohidrosis, absent fingertip prints, and absent palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. The patients differ in nail manifestations and hair colour. No Keratin14 mutation or genomic imbalance at CGHarray could be found in either of them. Although their phenotype overlaps with Naegeli syndrome, dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, dyskeratosis congenita and poikiloderma Clericuzio type, the differences in ectodermal manifestations, immunological functioning, growth pattern and cognition may indicate the presence of a separate entity. |
