Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat. 2022 Mar;31(1):43-46.

Abstract

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in TRPS gene, characterized by skeletal, skin appendage, and endocrinological manifestations. Clinical presentation may vary widely, and the syndrome frequently remains undiagnosed. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, supported by radiographic images, and is confirmed by genetic investigation. Familiarity with this genetic disorder is crucial for providing correct and early identification, and for determining adequate supportive management, especially to prevent orthopedic complications.
