Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare group of autosomal recessive disorders of DNA repair unified by the presence of sulfur-deficient brittle hair. We report a 3-year-old boy with classic clinical features of TTD, including ichthyosis, alopecia, developmental delay, and tiger-tail banding of the hair shaft on polarizing microscopy. Brain MR imaging showed both diffuse dysmyelination and osteosclerosis, findings that, in combination, may be specific for TTD.
先天性硫营养不良症(TTD)是一组罕见的常染色体隐性遗传病,其特征为 DNA 修复缺陷和毛发中硫元素含量降低。我们报告了一例 3 岁男孩,具有 TTD 的典型临床特征,包括鱼鳞癣、脱发、发育迟缓以及毛发纵切偏振光显微镜下的虎尾带。脑部磁共振成像显示弥漫性脑白质发育不良和骨质硬化,这些发现结合起来可能对 TTD 具有特异性。
