Preferred Label : Stiff skin syndrome;
Symbol : SSKS;
CISMeF acronym : SSKS;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Stiff skin syndrome is characterized by hard, thick skin, usually over the entire
body, which limits joint mobility and causes flexion contractures. Other occasional
findings include lipodystrophy and muscle weakness (Loeys et al., 2010). Patients
with similar phenotypes involving stiff skin have been described; see, e.g., familial
progressive scleroderma (181750), symmetric lipomatosis (151800), and congenital fascial
dystrophy (228020).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1, 134797.0050);
