Description : Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis
characterized by irregularly shaped, asymptomatic hyper- and hypopigmented macules
that appear in infancy or early childhood and occur in a generalized distribution
over the trunk, limbs, and sometimes the face. Involvement of the palms or soles is
unusual. Abnormalities of hair and nails have been reported, and DUH may be associated
with abnormalities of dermal connective tissue, nerve tissue, or other systemic complications
(summary by Zhang et al., 2013). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Dyschromatosis Universalis
Hereditaria Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria-2 (DUH2; 612715) maps to chromosome
12q21-q23. DUH3 (615402) is caused by mutation in the ABCB6 gene (605452) on chromosome
2q35.;
