Q
CHILD syndrome sketch:
A
- the story of the female 1/2 Child in the DHL truck:
- she was born with erythema, small limbs, hair loss and small organs on half of his body, found in a DHL truck that was shipping fat products (NSDHL gene mutation–>involved in cholesterol synthesis)
- THEN! the redness turned to verrucous lesions and migrated to the skin folds
- This never occurred in males as they would die before birth (X-linked dominant)
- The only skin that wasn’t involved, was the face!
