Albinism, Cutaneous

Autosomal dominant, congenital disorder characterized by localized hypomelanosis of the skin and hair. The most familiar feature is a white forelock presenting in 80 to 90 percent of the patients. The underlying defect is possibly related to the differentiation and migration of melanoblasts, as well as to defective development of the neural crest (neurocristopathy). Piebaldism may be closely related to WAARDENBURG SYNDROME.

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Piebaldism is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by cogenital patches of skin and hair from which melanocytes are completely absent."( Giebel, LB; Spritz, RA, 1991)
"Piebaldism is an autosomal dominant genetic pigmentary disorder, characterized by congenital white hair and patches located on the forehead, anterior trunk, and extremities."( Aoki, H; Kitajima, Y; Kunisada, T; Motohashi, T; Tosaki, H; Yoshida, H, 2006)
"Piebaldism is characterised by the absence of pigment in patches on the skin, usually present at birth."( Rokos, H; Salem, MM; Schallreuter, KU; Vafaee, T, 2010)
