Woolly hair nevus caused by somatic mutation and Costello syndrome caused by germline mutation in HRAS: Consider parental mosaicism in prenatal counseling.

Germline mutations in HRAS cause Costello syndrome (CS), while mosaic mutations in HRAS show a variability of phenotypes, ranging from mild features such as keratinocytic epidermal nevus (KEN), sebaceous nevus (SN), woolly hair nevus (WHN) with KEN, to severe manifestations of CS with cutis laxa.
