Incontinentia Pigmenti: Case Report

TLDR
A case of a female newborn exhibiting characteristic cutaneous and neurologic findings with one-year follow-up is reported.
Abstract
Incontinentia pigmenti or Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome is a rare X-linked dominant disorder with characteristic skin, hair, eye, dental and neurologic abnormalities mostly affecting females. We report a case of a female newborn exhibiting characteristic cutaneous and neurologic findings with one-year follow-up.

Systematic review of central nervous system anomalies in incontinentia pigmenti

TL;DR: The frequency of CNS anomalies, similar to the frequency of retinal anomalies in IP patients, concurrent with their severity, supports their recognition in the list of IP minor criteria.

A 6-Month-Old Girl with Incontinentia Pigmenti Presenting as Status Epilepticus.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that when a patient presents with status epilepticus, meticulous examination for skin lesions should be performed to determine whether the patient has a neurocutaneous syndrome, such as IP.

Clinical study of 40 cases of incontinentia pigmenti.

TL;DR: The distribution of manifestations in a pediatric cohort and guidelines for follow-up of incontinentia pigmenti are analyzed to better understand the pathological mechanisms of IP and develop new therapies.

Incontinentia pigmenti (Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome).

TL;DR: Study of mouse models in which various components of the NF-κB pathway (including NEMO) have been knocked out has contributed significantly to the understanding of disease pathogenesis.

Isolation of full-length cDNA and chromosomal localization of human NF-κB modulator NEMO to Xq28

TL;DR: The isolation of a full-length human NEMO cDNA is reported, which predicts a 48-kD coiled-coil protein which shares 87.9% identity and 90.5% similarity with the mouse homolog.

NEMO, NFκB signaling and incontinentia pigmenti

TL;DR: The finding that the disease results from a common, recurrent mutation was surprising given the high variability in patients' phenotypes and illustrates the role of X inactivation and selection in females.

Incontinentia pigmenti. A four-generation study.

TL;DR: Evidence is offered to support the theory that the pattern of inheritance of incontinentia pigmenti is by linkage of the gene on the X chromosome acting as a dominant gene in females and lethal in males.
