BACKGROUND: |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
141-340 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness (KID) syndrome (OMIM 148210) is a congenital ectodermal defect that consists of an atypical ichthyosiform erythroderma associated with congenital sensorineural deafness. |
| TextSentencer_T4 |
341-429 |
Sentence |
denotes |
KID appears to be genetically heterogeneous and most cases are caused by GJB2 mutations. |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
430-487 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mutations in African patients have been rarely described. |

CASE PRESENTATION: |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
507-631 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We report on two unrelated Cameroonian individuals affected with sporadic KID, presenting with the classic phenotypic triad. |
| TextSentencer_T8 |
632-709 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The two patients were heterozygous for the most frequent p.Asp50Asn mutation. |
| TextSentencer_T9 |
710-894 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This first report in patients from sub-Saharan African origin supports the hypothesis that the occurrence of KID due to p.Asp50Asn mutation in GJB2 seems not to be population specific. |

Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |

Sentence |
denotes |
Our finding has implication in medical genetic practice, specifically in the molecular diagnosis of KID in Africans. |
| TextSentencer_T12 |
1025-1238 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These cases also reveal and emphasize the urgent need to develop appropriate policies to care for patients with rare/orphan diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, as many of these cases become more and more recognizable. |
