Inherited Patterned Lentiginosis is a rare genetic condition characterized by the presence of numerous lentigines (small, pigmented spots on the skin) that are arranged in a specific pattern. This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that an affected individual has a 50% chance of passing the condition to each of their offspring.
Symptoms[edit]
The primary symptom of Inherited Patterned Lentiginosis is the presence of numerous lentigines. These lentigines are typically small, pigmented spots on the skin that are arranged in a specific pattern. The pattern of lentigines can vary widely from person to person, but they are typically found on the trunk and extremities. The lentigines are usually present at birth or develop in early childhood.
Causes[edit]
Inherited Patterned Lentiginosis is caused by mutations in a gene. The exact gene responsible for this condition has not yet been identified. This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that an affected individual has a 50% chance of passing the condition to each of their offspring.
Diagnosis[edit]
The diagnosis of Inherited Patterned Lentiginosis is typically made based on the presence of characteristic clinical features. Genetic testing can be used to confirm the diagnosis and identify the specific gene mutation responsible for the condition.
Treatment[edit]
There is currently no cure for Inherited Patterned Lentiginosis. Treatment is typically focused on managing the symptoms of the condition. This can include the use of topical creams to lighten the lentigines, as well as laser treatments or surgery to remove them.
