Reticulated pigmentary changes and Terry's nails in a patient with a TERT variant-associated telomere biology disorder.
Telomere biology disorders (TBD) are a complex set of inherited illnesses characterized by short telomeres. Dyskeratosis congenita (DC), which is now considered a severe TBD phenotype, is characterized by reticulated pigmentary changes, nail dystrophy, premalignant oral leukoplakia, and systemic involvement. This case describes a 2-year-old female with reticulated pigmentary changes and Terry's nails who was found to have a TERT variant and short telomeres; she lacked other mucocutaneous and systemic features of TBD. This report describes a unique clinical presentation of TBD and highlights the importance of upholding suspicion for TBD in individuals with limited or subtle features of classic DC.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Dermatology answers the need for new ideas and strategies for today''s pediatrician or dermatologist. As a teaching vehicle, the Journal is still unsurpassed and it will continue to present the latest on topics such as hemangiomas, atopic dermatitis, rare and unusual presentations of childhood diseases, neonatal medicine, and therapeutic advances. As important progress is made in any area involving infants and children, Pediatric Dermatology is there to publish the findings.
