Amyloidosis cutis dyschromica cases caused by GPNMB mutations with different inheritance patterns.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Amyloidosis cutis dyschromica (ACD) is a rare form of primary cutaneous amyloidosis featured by reticulate dotted hypo- and hyperpigmentation. Recently, loss-of-function mutations in GPNMB, encoding glycoprotein (transmembrane) nonmetastatic melanoma protein B, were found in autosomal-recessive or semi-dominant ACD. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to detect the genetic defect underlying ACD in nine...
