Trichothiodystrophy 1, Photosensitive; Ttd1

Description

Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder in which patients have brittle, sulfur-deficient hair that displays a diagnostic alternating light and dark banding pattern, called 'tiger tail banding,' under polarizing microscopy. TTD patients display a wide variety of clinical features, including cutaneous, neurologic, and growth abnormalities. Common additional clinical features are ichthyosis, intellectual/developmental disabilities, decreased fertility, abnormal characteristics at birth, ocular abnormalities, short stature, and infections. There are both photosensitive and nonphotosensitive forms of the disorder. TTD patients have not been reported to have a predisposition to cancer (summary by Faghri et al., 2008). Genetic Heterogeneity of TrichothiodystrophyAlso see TTD2 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the ERCC3/XPB gene (OMIM ); TTD3 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the GTF2H5 gene (OMIM ); TTD4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the MPLKIP gene (OMIM ); TTD5 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the RNF113A gene (OMIM ); and TTD6 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the GTF2E2 gene (OMIM ).
