A 3 and half years old male child born by consanguineous marriage presented with white forelock and symmetric hypopigmented areas present since birth, similar to his mother and elder sister. Hepatomegaly was noticed at one year of age. Liver biopsy revealed enlarged pale hepatocytes distended with glycogen. Skin biopsy revealed absence of melanin pigment in white depigmented skin. G727T gene splice mutation was diagnosed in exon 5 of 17q21 chromosome.

D005953 Glycogen Storage Disease Type I An autosomal recessive disease in which gene expression of glucose-6-phosphatase is absent, resulting in hypoglycemia due to lack of glucose production. Accumulation of glycogen in liver and kidney leads to organomegaly, particularly massive hepatomegaly. Increased concentrations of lactic acid and hyperlipidemia appear in the plasma. Clinical gout often appears in early childhood.

D016116 Piebaldism Autosomal dominant, congenital disorder characterized by localized hypomelanosis of the skin and hair. The most familiar feature is a white forelock presenting in 80 to 90 percent of the patients. The underlying defect is possibly related to the differentiation and migration of melanoblasts, as well as to defective development of the neural crest (neurocristopathy). Piebaldism may be closely related to WAARDENBURG SYNDROME. Albinism, Cutaneous,Albinism, Partial,Piebald Trait,Cutaneous Albinism,Partial Albinism
