Trichothiodystrophy 4, Nonphotosensitive; Ttd4

Description

Trichothiodystrophy 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 (summary by Faghri et al., 2008).Sabinas brittle hair syndrome (OMIM ) is another form of nonphotosensitive TTD.For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of trichothiodystrophy, see {601675}.
