Absence of fingerprints-congenital milia syndrome, also known simply as Baird syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder which is characterized by a lack of fingerprints and the appearance of blisters and facial milia soon after birth.[2] It has been described in ten families worldwide.[3][4]
Absence of fingerprints-congenital milia syndrome | |
---|---|
Other names | Absence of dermatoglyphics congenital milia, Baird syndrome, Adermatoglyphia with congenital facial milia and acral blisters, digital contractures, and nail abnormalities, Basan syndrome.[1] |
Specialty | Medical genetics |
Symptoms | adermatoglyphia with neo-natal blisters and facial milia |
Complications | Usually none (health-wise), however; hypohidrosis may lead to heat exhaustion or even a heat stroke, and the absence of fingerprints may complicate the use of systems that require fingerprint-identification |
Usual onset | Birth |
Duration | Life-long |
Types | Adermatoglyphia syndromes |
Causes | Genetic mutation |
Risk factors | Having a parent with the disorder |
Diagnostic method | Physical examination, genetic testing |
Differential diagnosis | Isolated adermatoglyphia |
Prevention | none |
Prognosis | Good |
Frequency | extremely rare, only 10 families worldwide are known to be affected with this disorder. |
Presentation
editPeople with this disorder often have congenital adermatoglyphia, facial milia and blisters soon after birth, hypohidrosis (less sweating than average), and either thin or thickened skin throughout the body.[5][6][7][8]
Single transversal palmar lines, plantar keratoderma, nail grooving, toe syndactyly and finger camptodactyly have also been reported.[9][10][11] Rarely, constriction ring syndrome is reported.[12]
Causes
editThrough a large Han Chinese family with the disorder, it was found to be caused by mutations in the SMARCAD1 gene, in chromosome 4.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19] This gene produces a protein that is believed to control genes associated with the development of the fingerprints.[20]
