A young girl with progressive symmetrical erythrokeratoderma and short height
Keywords:
Short height, loricrin, progressive symmetrical erythrokeratodermaAbstract
Progressive symmetrical erythrokeratoderma is an uncommon genodermatosis and is thought to arise due to mutations in the connexin gene. However, genetic heterogeneity has been described. We report a case of progressive symmetrical erythrokeratoderma, with short height.ÂReferences
