Extractions: (Bloch-Sulzberger Syndrome) Welcome to our website This website has been developed by the Ectodermal Dysplasia Society to help people with Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP). The ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) are a group of inherited disorders that involve defects of the hair, nails, teeth and sweat glands. Depending on the particular syndrome ectodermal dysplasia (ED) can also affect the skin, the lens or retina of the eye, parts of the inner ear and other parts of the body. Incontinentia Pigmenti is an ectodermal dysplasia and is a rare genetic disorder characterised by abnormalities of the skin, hair, teeth, eyes and nails and may be linked with neurological problems in some cases. The most characteristic and diagnostic feature of this condition are skin problems which can be described in five distinct stages:- Vesicular - blistered skin rash, usually present at birth or soon after birth and disappearing by the age of 4 months Verrucous - wart-like patches on the lower limbs, usually occurs after the first stage and generally clearing up by 6 months of age

Extractions: Background This rare disease is an X-linked dominant inherited disorder. Thus, most males carrying the gene usually die in utero. There are rare males with the disease and presumably these represent new mutations. It affects multiple organs and presents with vesiculobullous lesions with erythema, at birth or soon thereafter. It has a characteristic linear arrangement on the extremities and lateral aspects of the trunk. These bullous and erythematous lesions evolve into verrucous lesions after weeks to months. This may be followed by atrophy or depigmentation with a slate-brown or blue-gray pigmentation. This may not fade until adulthood. Finally, usually in adulthood, there are hypopigmented or depigmented linear macules on the extremities and trunk with a lack of skin appendages. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by a biopsy but the characteristic collection of organ system changes may strongly suggest the diagnosis.

Extractions: Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) (Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome) by Dr Helen Stewart Consultant in Clinical Genetics Churchill Hospital, Oxford, UK Incontinentia Pigmenti is a rare condition, affecting girls. Only in exceptional circumstances does it affect boys. IP affects many parts of the body. It can affect different people to different degrees. There are typically four stages that occur one after the other, though they may overlap. No specific treatment is needed for the skin changes. Stage 1 There is redness of the skin, then blistering, starting from the first few weeks of life. The blisters do not affect the face but occur in lines along the limbs and round the body. Blistering usually stops by four months of age, though blisters may recur at times when the child has a temperature. During this stage, the blisters should be kept clean and dry. Stage 2 As the blisters heal, warty areas occur on the skin of the hands and feet. In most cases these clear by six months of age. Stage 3 This is the stage that gives the condition its name. There are streaks and whorls of pigment along the limbs and round the body. These darken initially, then fade, usually by the age of 16 years.

We are the support group for people with IP in the UK and to help people find us we have developed a simple website which will direct them to this site. In due course we register with search engines but our domain name itself should enable people to find us. This site is now up and running and can be found by using either domain names although the site is actually located at www.incontinentia-pigmenti.org This site has also been modified by providing a link to a page summarising all the information we have on IP.

Extractions: Incontinentia Pigmenti Sultan Al-Khenaizan, MBBS, FRCPC Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant (XLD) disorder that was first described in 1906 by Garrod, and subsequently named after Bloch and Sulzberger. The skin lesions in IP follow four well-characterized successive stages: vesicular, verrucous, whorl or streak-like hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmented scars. Skin appendages, including hair and teeth are commonly affected in IP, with scarring alopecia and peg-shaped teeth. IP also affects many other body systems, most commonly the central nervous system (CNS) and the eyes. Almost all patients with IP are females because of the lethality of the disease in males. Case Report From the Department of Medicine, King Fahad National Guard Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. leaving no marks. The rest of the physical examination was unremarkable. Skin examination of the mother revealed multiple white, hypopigmented atrophic swirls and streaks along the Blaschko lines. Mouth examination revealed hypodontia and conical widely spaced teeth. The diagnosis of incontinentia pigmenti was made. CT scan and MRI of the brain revealed no abnormality. Electroencephalogram study was normal and there were no more seizures. The infant was discharged home in good condition on oral phenobarbitol. At three months' follow-up, the pigmentation had extended to most of the lower extremities and sides of the trunk (Figure 1), with no other skin changes. Neurological examination by the neurologist was normal.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Incontinentia pigmenti syndrome (IPS) is inherited as a dominant X-linked trait . Almost all cases are among females and the condition may be lethal in males. IPS may also arise as a spontaneous mutation. Infants with IPS are born with blistery (vesicular) lesions which appear as streaks. These lesions heal as rough or verrucous papules. Eventually, these papules clear but leave damaged hyperpigmented (too much pigment) skin behind. After several years, the skin returns to normal. In some adults, whorls and streaks of faint hypopigmentation (less pigment than normal) may appear.

Extractions: Carl Fratter Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) Gene Identification Introduction Linkage to Xq28 Literature is confusing due to early reports of a locus for IP at Xp11 The locus at Xp11 was first reported in 1985, as it corresponded to the X chromosome breakpoint in cases of "IP" with X:autosome translocations However, it is now considered that these cases are not in fact IP, and it is important to note that all these cases are sporadic Linkage of familial IP to Xq28 was reported in 1989 (8 families studied), after linkage to Xp11 had been excluded in 5 families in 1988 IP linked to Xq28 was initially termed IP2, and this nomenclature is still sometimes used
