" /> Cole disease - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Cole disease;

Symbol : COLED;

CISMeF acronym : COLED;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Guttate hypopigmentation and punctate palmoplantar keratoderma with or without ectopic calcification;

Description : Cole disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital or early-onset punctate keratoderma associated with irregularly shaped hypopigmented macules, which are typically found over the arms and legs but not the trunk or acral regions. Skin biopsies of palmoplantar lesions show nonspecific changes including hyperorthokeratosis, hypergranulosis, and acanthosis. Hypopigmented areas of skin, however, reveal a reduction in melanin content in keratinocytes but not in melanocytes, as well as hyperkeratosis and a normal number of melanocytes. Ultrastructurally, melanocytes show a disproportionately large number of melanosomes in the cytoplasm and dendrites, whereas keratinocytes show a paucity of these organelles, suggestive of impaired melanosome transfer (summary by Eytan et al., 2013). Some patients also exhibit calcinosis cutis or early-onset calcific tendinopathy (Eytan et al., 2013).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1 gene (ENPP1, 173335.0020);

Prefixed ID : #615522;
