Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
616099 | OMIM | Palmoplantar keratoderma and woolly hair (PPKWH) | A disorder characterized by abnormal thickening of the skin on the palms and soles, in association with woolly scalp hair. Affected individuals manifest a variable degree of striate palmoplantar keratoderma, generally more severe on the soles. Leukonychia is more pronounced on the fingernails than toenails. Scalp hair, body hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are sparse. The fifth toes show variable degrees of pseudoainhum, ranging from external rotation to a deep sulcus at the digitoplantar fold, accompanied by a bulbous appearance of the distal toe. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
617783 | OMIM | Nephrotic syndrome 16 (NPHS16) | A form of nephrotic syndrome, a renal disease clinically characterized by severe proteinuria, resulting in complications such as hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and edema. Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation. Some affected individuals have an inherited steroid-resistant form that progresses to end-stage renal failure. NPHS16 inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
