RESUMO
Cutaneous signs and symptoms may facilitate the diagnosis or can help in identifying complications or side effects of overtreatment of inherited metabolic diseases. The principal manifestations can be grouped into vascular lesions, ichthyosis, papular and nodular skin lesions, abnormal pigmentation, photosensitivity, skin laxity, hair shaft involvement, and nail abnormalities. We have summarized associations of these cutaneous signs and symptoms in 252 inherited metabolic diseases. This represents the sixth of a series of articles attempting to create and maintain a comprehensive list of clinical and metabolic differential diagnoses according to system involvement.

Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a group of genetic disorders that often determined by abnormal pigmentation and hearing impairment. Four subgroups of disease are recognized according to physical characteristics and involved genes. Mutation in the genes, MITF, SOX10, SNAI2, PAX3, KIT and KITLG are related to Waardenburg syndrome type II. In this study, we performed exome sequencing in a WS2 proband and detected a heterozygous non-sense variation in MITF. Clinical features, pedigrees investigations and molecular segregation revealed autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. To our knowledge it's the first evidence about incomplete penetrance of WS2 related to MITF gene.
