Adermatoglyphia
Definition:
Adermatoglyphia (ADERM) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by lack of palmoplantar epidermal ridges. Mutations in SMARCAD1 was identified in patients. It seems that haploinsufficiency for the skin-specific isoform of SMARCAD1 directly or indirectly perturbs the expression of important signalling pathways associated with epidermal differentiation.
