Genodermatoses: Genetics of Skin

Genodermatoses refers to a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the skin. These conditions often result from mutations in specific genes and can lead to a wide range of dermatological issues, such as blistering, abnormal pigmentation, or skin fragility. Studying the genetics of these disorders is crucial in understanding their causes, inheritance patterns, and potential treatments. This research helps in advancing our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying skin diseases and guiding therapeutic strategies for affected individuals. Clinical manifestations on the body vary depending on the type.

• Multiple gene (polygenic)
• Chromosome
• Pachyonychia congenita
• Epidermolysis bullosa
