- Albinism
Albinism is a rare genetic condition caused by mutations of certain genes that affect the amount of melanin your body produces. Melanin controls the pigmentation (color) of your skin, eyes, and hair.People with albinism have extremely pale skin, eyes, and hair. They are at an increased risk of vision, skin, and social issues; the patients aren't born with the usual amount of melanin pigment.Melanin is a ch Read More

- Erythema multiforme bullosum
Erythema Multiforme Bullosum can range from mild to severe. The skin rash caused by erythema multiforme minor is typically caused by a modest disease. Mucous membranes may be severely affected by erythema multiforme major, which can be severe mucous membranes, and usually requires more intensive therapy.Risk factors for erythema multiforme bullosumThese are the risk factors involved to Erythema Multifor Read More

Ichthyosis Hystrix Curth Macklin Type is an uncommon inherited skin condition. It is characterised by mild to severe scaling of the skin (ichthyosis). The scaly, thickened skin patches can range in severity from mild to severe and can develop on practically any portion of the body. Patches of excessively thick, hard skin can occur practically anywhere on the body in ichthyosis hystrix, Curth-Macklin type. Clinical experts have Read More
- Keratitis ichthyosis deafness syndrome
Keratitis ichthyosis deafness (KID) syndrome is an unusual, multi-system illness caused by a genetic mutation.KID syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition that is inherited.It is a genetic condition that can be passed down from parent to child in an autosomal dominant manner. That means that each person affected by the disease will have one defective gene and one normal gene.The kid will be aff Read More
- Oculocutaneous albinism
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a group of rare inherited disorders characterized by a reduced amount or complete lack of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. These conditions are caused by mutations in specific genes that are necessary for the production of melanin pigment in specialized cells called melanocytes. Absent or insufficient melanin pigment results abnormal development in the eyes resulting in vision abnormalities and ligh Read More
- Systemic elastorrhexis (obsolete)
PXE results in a variety of signs and symptoms that vary in their number, type, and severity from person to person. Certain effects of PXE can cause serious medical problems, while others have less impact. Effects may include: skin changes, changes in the retina of the eye that may result in significant loss of central vision, changes in the cardiovascular system that may involve calcification of arteries and decreased blood flow in the arms a Read More
