Linear hypopigmentation and craniofacial asymmetry with acral, ocular and brain anomalies

What it is

A rare ectodermal dysplasia syndrome characterized by linear hypopigmentation and hypotrichosis following the lines of Blaschko, symmetric or asymmetric facial dysmorphism, and body asymmetry, in association with ocular, dental, and acral anomalies. Reported manifestations include microphthalmia, strabismus, myopia, oligodontia, microdontia, conical teeth, abnormal enamel, brachydactyly, syndactyly, and broad first toe, as well as dysmorphic facial features such as downslanting palpebral fissures, broad nasal bridge, malar hypoplasia, and microstomia. Brain imaging may show cystic leukoencephalopathy and ventricular dilation.

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Related health topics

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
