What are the causes of Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome?
Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the CYLD gene. This gene is responsible for producing an enzyme that helps regulate the activity of certain proteins in the body. The mutation in the CYLD gene leads to an overproduction of these proteins, which can cause a variety of symptoms.
What are the symptoms of Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome?
The symptoms of Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome include:
-Early onset of balding
-Hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles
-Multiple skin tumors, including basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and sebaceous carcinomas
-Multiple keratoacanthomas
-Multiple seborrheic keratoses
-Multiple milia
-Multiple lipomas
-Multiple trichoepitheliomas
-Multiple sebaceous adenomas
-Multiple pilomatricomas
-Multiple fibromas
-Multiple epidermal cysts
-Multiple sebaceous hyperplasias
-Multiple seborrheic dermatitis
-Multiple actinic keratoses
-Multiple seborrheic keratoses
-Multiple milia
What is Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome?
Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of multiple skin tumors, nail abnormalities, and hair loss. It is caused by a mutation in the XPD gene, which is responsible for the production of a protein involved in DNA repair. Symptoms typically begin in early adulthood and may include multiple skin tumors, nail abnormalities, and hair loss. Other symptoms may include hearing loss, eye abnormalities, and neurological problems. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the tumors and may include chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
