We report on a patient with hypomelanosis of Ito (HI), developmental delay, recurrent pneumonia, and facial asymmetry. Chromosome analysis done on blood and on one of three skin biopsies showed trisomy 18 mosaicism. This is the first report of HI associated with trisomy 18 mosaicism. This neuroectodermal disorder appears to be a nonspecific manifestation of chromosome mosaicism.
我们报告了一名患有伊藤色素减退症(HI)、发育迟缓、反复肺炎和面部不对称的患者。对血液和三块皮肤活检组织中的一块进行的染色体分析显示为18三体镶嵌现象。这是关于HI与18三体镶嵌现象相关的首例报告。这种神经外胚层疾病似乎是染色体镶嵌现象的一种非特异性表现。
