OMIM 125595

Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (also known as "Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis hyperkeratotica et mutilans," "Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis hypohidotica et atrophica," and "Dermatopathic pigmentosa reticularis"[1]:511) is a rare, autosomal dominant[2] congenital disorder that is a form of ectodermal dysplasia. Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis is composed of the triad of generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, noncicatricial alopecia, and onychodystrophy.[3]:856

Contents

[edit] Presentation

Symptoms include lack of sweat glands, thin hair, brittle nails, mottled skin, and lack of fingerprints.

[edit] Cause

DPR is comparable to Naegeli syndrome, both of which are caused by a specific defect in the keratin 14 protein.[4]

Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
