Genetics and dermatology: a review.

The development of genetic studies over the last hundred years, in particular as they have affected dermatology, has been reviewed. The clinical application of knowledge derived from other fields has been emphasized, areas of future research have been indicated, and suggestions for cooperation with other disciplines have been offered.

Atypical ichthyosiform erythrodernam deafness and keratitis. A report of two cases.

Two patients with ichthyosiform erythroderma of the same unusual but characteristic distribution are described. Both patients were born with perceptive deafness and developed severe vascularizing keratitis in early childhood. There is no family history of the disorder in either case. This syndrome is discussed in relation to previous reports of atypical ichthyosiform erythroderma associated with deafness.

The syndrome of ankyloblepharon, ectodermal defects and cleft lip and palate: an autosomal dominant condition.

Seven patients from four families are reported who had an inherited condition of which the main features were ankyloblepharon, ectodermal defects and cleft lip and palate. The ectodermal defects were partial or complete hair loss, absent or dystrophic nails, pointed widely spaced teeth and partial anhidrosis. Associated anomalies included lacrimal duct atresia, supernumerary nipples, syndactyly and auricular deformities. The inheritance of this abnormality was consistent with that of an autosomal dominant trait. The relationship between this and similar syndromes is discussed.
