Keratosis pilaris and ulerythema ophryogenes (keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei) are part of a group of hereditary disorders of hair follicle keratinization involving follicular inflammation and subsequent atrophy. Monosomy 18p refers to a chromosomal disorder resulting from the deletion of all or part of the short arm of chromosome 18. This trias was first described in a patient by Zouboulis et al. (1994) and has been reported by different authors in four additional patients since then. We have reviewed the five almost identical cases that have been reported in 20 years and we suggest the existence of a new rare syndrome characterized by the trias keratosis pilaris, ulerythema ophryogenes and monosomy 18p. Recognition of the syndrome could assist in early diagnosis of monosomy 18p in these patients.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007644	Darier Disease	An autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder characterized by warty malodorous papules that coalesce into plaques. It is caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding SERCA2 protein, one of the SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES. The condition is similar, clinically and histologically, to BENIGN FAMILIAL PEMPHIGUS, another autosomal dominant skin disorder. Both diseases have defective calcium pumps (CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES) and unstable desmosomal adhesion junctions (DESMOSOMES) between KERATINOCYTES.

D007797	Laminin	Large, noncollagenous glycoprotein with antigenic properties. It is localized in the basement membrane lamina lucida and functions to bind epithelial cells to the basement membrane. Evidence suggests that the protein plays a role in tumor invasion.	Merosin,Glycoprotein GP-2,Laminin M,Laminin M Chain,Chain, Laminin M,Glycoprotein GP 2,M Chain, Laminin
