Preferred Label : Basaloid follicular hamartoma syndrome, generalized, autosomal dominant;
Symbol : GBFHS;
CISMeF acronym : GBFHS;
Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Description : Wheeler et al. (2000) described an 8-year-old girl who presented with hundreds of
milia; comedone-like lesions; skin-colored and hyperpigmented papules on the face,
scalp, ears, neck, upper trunk, and lower arms, along with diffuse scalp hypotrichosis;
and pinpoint palm/sole pits. Onset was in early childhood, and the disease was historically
present in 6 generations. They characterized 18 family members by physical exam and
biopsy. The lesions were basaloid follicular hamartomas and other folliculocentric
abnormalities. Inheritance was autosomal dominant. Wheeler et al. (2000) suggested
that this unique genodermatosis be referred to as 'dominantly inherited generalized
basaloid follicular hamartoma syndrome,' or GBFHS. *FIELD* RF 1. Wheeler, C. E.; Carroll,
