Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Lipoid proteinosis of Urbach and Wiethe is a rare autosomal recessive disorder typified by generalized thickening of skin, mucosae, and certain viscera. Classic features include beaded eyelid papules and laryngeal infiltration leading to hoarseness. The disorder is clinically ...
Clinical Description OMIM This disorder was first reported by Urbach and Wiethe (1929). The association of early hoarseness with an unusual skin eruption suggests the diagnosis.

Meenan et al. (1978) reported multiple cases in 2 closely related Irish families. ...

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations OMIM Hamada et al. (2003) sequenced the ECM1 gene in 10 unrelated patients with lipoid proteinosis. They concluded that exons 6 and 7 are the most common sites for ECM1 mutations in lipoid proteinosis and that clinically it appears ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Using a candidate gene approach, Hamada et al. (2002) identified 6 different homozygous loss-of-function mutations in the extracellular matrix protein-1 gene (see, e.g., 602201.0001-602201.0003).
Population genetics OMIM Lipoid proteinosis occurs worldwide, but is more common in certain areas such as the Northern Cape province of South Africa (Hamada et al., 2002).
