Description: (OMIM) |
Familial progressive hyperpigmentation (FPH) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperpigmented patches in the skin, which are present in early infancy and increase in size and number with age (summary by Wang et al., 2009). ... |
Clinical Description OMIM |
Familial progressive hyperpigmentation was observed by Chernosky et al. (1971) in 4 individuals in 2 generations of a black family. It was characterized by patches of cutaneous hyperpigmentation which were present at birth and increased in size and ... |
Molecular genetics OMIM |
Wang et al. (2009) identified an asn36-to-ser (184745.0003) mutation in the KIT ligand gene in a 6-generation family segregating familial progressive hyperpigmentation. The mutation cosegregated with affected individuals and was not present in any unaffected members. Functional analysis ... |
