Basan syndrome
Definition:
Basan syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by rapidly healing congenital acral bullae, congenital milia and lack of fingerprints. Other phenotypes include contractures of digits, hypohidrosis, palmoplantar keratoderma, and nail dystrophy. A mutation in the SMARCAD1 gene was recently reported to cause Basan syndrome.
