Papillon Lefevre syndrome

A

Papillon Lefevre is the french Chef That Sucks at Cooking:

  • picture a french chef that sucks at cooking to remind you of the CTSC gene mutation
  • he will not make it in the cooking industry so he is autosomal recessive
  • Picture him with no teeth and gingivitis to remind you of the periodontitis/gingivitis leading to premature loss of teeth.
  • he is trying to hold the spoon to cook, but it keeps slipping because of the transgradiens PPK and hyperhidrosis (like mal de meleda)
  • he is pinching his nose shut because he smells a terrible odor (from palms and soles)
  • hes wearing a large chefs hat to remind you of dural calcifications
