TLDR Zouboulis syndrome is a rare condition that helps diagnose monosomy 18p early.
The document reviewed five cases reported over 20 years that exhibited a combination of keratosis pilaris, ulerythema ophryogenes, and monosomy 18p, suggesting the existence of a new rare syndrome, termed Zouboulis syndrome. This syndrome, characterized by hereditary disorders of hair follicle keratinization and a chromosomal deletion, could aid in the early diagnosis of monosomy 18p.
Genetic testing can help diagnose skin conditions but needs more research for full effectiveness.
