Genetics

This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. It is due to mutations in the Bifunctional 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthetase 2 (PAPSS2) gene which is located on the long arm of chromosome 10 (10q23.2-q23.31).[3]

Treatment

History

This condition was first described in a large eight generation consanguineous Pakistani family.

The causative mutation was identified in 1998.[4]
