Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner |
Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (also known as "reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi", and "symmetrical dyschromatosis of the extremities") is a rare autosomally inherited dermatosis. It is characterized by progressively pigmented and depigmented macules, often mixed in a reticulate pattern, concentrated on the dorsal extremities.[2]: 855 It presents primarily in the Japanese, but has also been found to affect individuals from Europe, India and the Caribbean.
Genetics[edit]
This disease is caused by mutation in the double stranded RNA specific adenosine deaminase (ADAR1) gene.[3] This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q21).
