Hereditary fibrosing poikiloderma with tendon contractures, myopathy and pulmonary fibrosis is a rare genetic syndrome characterised by poikiloderma, tendon contractures and progressive pulmonary fibrosis.[1] It is also known as POIKTMP syndrome.
Presentation
[edit]The main characteristics of this condition are poikiloderma, tendon contractures and progressive pulmonary fibrosis.
Other features include[2]
Skin
- Facial telangiectasia
- Mottled hypo- and hyperpigmentation
- Papules
- Epidermal atrophy
- Scanty hair
Tendon contractures affecting the
- Digits
- Ankles
Other
- Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
- Liver impairment
- Growth retardation
Magnetic resonance imaging shows muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration of the muscles. Muscle biopsy shows fibrosis and fatty infiltration. Skin biopsy shows fibrosis and alterations of the elastic network.
Genetics
[edit]This condition is caused by mutations in the (FAM111B) gene. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 11 (11q12.1).[citation needed]
The inheritance of this condition is autosomal dominant.[citation needed]
Diagnosis
[edit]This diagnosis is made by sequencing the FAM111B gene.[citation needed]
Differential diagnosis
[edit]Management
[edit]There is presently no curative treatment. Management is supportive.[citation needed]
Epidemiology
[edit]The prevalence is not known but this is considered to be a rare disease. About fifty cases have bene described in the literature up to 2019.[citation needed]
History
[edit]This condition was first described in 2006.[3]
