GenodermatosesQ82.8

Hereditary skin diseases, which develop with the involvement of genetically determined factors. Genodermatoses are the focus of interest today, as they can serve as models for fundamental physiological and pathological processes of the organism. Numerous hereditary skin diseases have already been assigned (mapped) on a gene map and elucidated by molecular biology. An exact recording of phenotypes is crucial for the success of molecular biological gene analysis. These phenotypes have a 6-digit number (MIM number - or OMIM number) which are compiled in a database available online.
