Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (NSML) which is part of a group called Ras/MAPK pathway syndromes, [2] is a rare autosomal dominant, [3] multisystem disease caused by a mutation in the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 11 gene . The disease is a complex of features, mostly involving the skin, skeletal and cardiovascular ...
Familial multiple lentigines syndrome without systemic involvement [1] Generalized lentiginosis is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner: Specialty:
Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder that may present with mildly unusual facial features, short height, congenital heart disease, ...
Mitochondrial myopathy–encephalopathy–lactic acidosis–stroke syndrome; Multiple lentigines syndrome (cardiocutaneous syndrome, Gorlin syndrome II, lentiginosis profusa syndrome, LEOPARD syndrome, progressive cardiomyopathic lentiginosis) Multiple pterygium syndrome; Multiple sulfatase deficiency (Austin disease, mucosulfatidosis)
A lentigo (/ l ɛ n ˈ t aɪ ɡ oʊ /) (plural lentigines, / l ɛ n ˈ t ɪ dʒ ɪ n iː z /) is a small pigmented spot on the skin with a clearly defined edge, surrounded by normal-appearing skin. It is a harmless (benign) hyperplasia of melanocytes which is linear in its spread.
Lentigo in cats is a common dermatological condition characterized by the presence of small, flat, brownish spots on the skin — particularly around the lips, nose, and eyelid margins. Unlike in ...
These are spotted areas created by accumulation in the skin due to sun exposure. Due to a high irregularity any distinction from randomness defines lentiginosis. Although lentigines are benign, they be the signal of an underlying problem such as progressive cardiomyopathic lentiginosis, which can cause retardation in children. [2]
Carney complex and its subsets LAMB syndrome [1] and NAME syndrome [1] are autosomal dominant conditions comprising myxomas of the heart and skin, hyperpigmentation of the skin (lentiginosis), and endocrine overactivity. [2] [3] It is distinct from Carney's triad. Approximately 7% of all cardiac myxomas are associated with Carney complex. [4]
