증례 : 선상의 피부 위축으로 진단한 MIDAS 증후군 1예

MIDAS syndrome (microphthalmia-dermal aplasia-sclerocornea) is an X-linked dominant genetic disease. In most patients, the unbalanced translocation or deletion of the X chromosome short-arm 22.3 band is observed. This disease characteristically presents as linear atrophy of the skin limited to the face and neck, accompanied by congenital eye disease. A 9-month-old female who had linear skin atrophy on the right side of her chin visited our clinic. She also presented with microphthalmia and sclerocornea on her right eye. Results of a chromosomal study revealed a deletion of the X-chromosome short-arm 22.31 band. Here, we report on this MIDAS syndrome patient with linear skin atrophy on the face.
