Lelis syndrome

Lelis syndrome is a genetic disorder, a rare condition with dermatological and dental findings[1] characterized by the association of ectodermal dysplasia (hypotrichosis and hypohidrosis) with acanthosis nigricans. Other clinical features may include palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, nail dystrophy, intellectual deficit,[2] disturbances of skin pigmentation (perioral and periorbital hyperpigmentation, vitiligo, and perinevic leukoderma)[2] and hypodontia. Transmission is autosomal recessive.[1][3]
