Happle‐Tinschert syndrome variable phenotype as part of the mosaic hedgehog spectrum: Report of three cases

Abstract

AbstractHapple‐Tinschert syndrome is a rare genodermatosis caused by a postzygotic mutation in SMO gene. The most recognized clinical findings include segmentally arranged basaloid follicular hamartomas, nevoid hypertrichosis, linear atrophoderma, and hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation following Blaschko lines associated with osseous, dental, and cerebral alterations. We report three additional cases, two of which lacked the pathognomonic basaloid follicular hamartomas, with genetic confirmation and detailed clinical characterization and describe new cutaneous features of this infrequent syndrome.
