Gene: [09q34/ITO] hypomelanosis of Ito (incontinentia pigmenti achromians, IPA); [HMI IPA ]


COM

The identification of the loci is based on two previously reported cases of the interchange between chromosomes 9 and X (summarized in Happle-1987). Furthermore, Turleau-1986, on the basis of a case of mosaicism for 15q1 microdeletion in combination with Ito hypomelanosis, suggested the location of the corresponding gene in this region. Therefore MIM-90 indicates both locations as equally possible, and considers the marker itself as a secondary one. The HGM catalogues do not include this marker yet."

HET

Two X-linked forms of incontinentia pigmenti are known, GEM:0Xp11/IP1 and GEM:0Xq2/IP2."
