A rare, genetic, endocrine disease characterized by defect in conversion of cortisone to active cortisol, resulting in ACTH-mediated excessive androgen release from adrenal glands. Premature adrenarche is typical with precocious pseudopuberty, proportionate tall stature and accelerated bone maturation in males, and hirsutism, oligoamenorrhea, central obesity and infertility in females. Imaging studies may indicate adrenal hyperplasia. |

A rare autoinflammatory disease and form of mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), characterised by periodic attacks of fever and a systemic inflammatory reaction (cervical lymphadenopathy, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, arthralgia and skin manifestations). The disease usually begins in the first year of life and rarely after 5 years of age. HIDS is an inherited syndrome caused by mutations in the mevalonate kinase (MVK) gene (12q24). These MVK mutations lead to reduced, but not abolished enzyme activity. This in turn leads to impaired control of the production of inflammatory mediators, which in turn cause inflammatory (fever) attacks. The disease follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. |

A rare type of keratinopathic ichthyosis characterised by the presence of severe hyperkeratotic lesions and palmoplantar keratoderma. The skin is usually normal at birth. The disease starts in early childhood with severe hyperkeratosis of yellow-brown or grey colour, and of spiky, cobblestone-like (hystrix) or verrucous appearance. Contrary to other keratinopathic ichthyoses, no skin fragility/blister formation or erythroderma is present. The disease results from heterozygous frameshift mutation in a section of the KRT1 gene encoding keratin 1 (K1). These mutations lead to an abnormal supramolecular organisation of keratin intermediate filaments and may be related to defects in cytoplasmic trafficking and integrity of cellular structures such as organelles and nucleus. Transmission is autosomal dominant but some sporadic cases have been reported. |

A rare vascular skin disease with characteristics of recurrent focal non-inflammatory thrombosis of dermal venulae, predominantly of the lower extremities, resulting in a cutaneous response manifested as pruritus and painful papules and erythematous plaques. The lesions evolve into hemorrhagic vesicles or bullae, which rupture and turn into painful ulcers merging into reticulate, confluent, geometric and painful ulcerations. During a period of a few months, the ulcerations change to porcelain-white atrophic scars with punctate telangiectasia (so-called atrophie blanche). In active disease, lesions in different stages coexist. |

A rare otorhinolaryngologic disease characterized by recurrent and severe obstruction of the central airway in the region bounded superiorly by a plane below the glottis and inferiorly by the first two tracheal rings. Symptoms may involve respiratory distress, dysphonia, exertional dyspnea, stridor, chronic cough and wheezing. Diagnosis is challenging due to the lack of apparent etiology and nonspecific respiratory symptoms that can be confounded with other common respiratory diseases and may also occur in late course of the disease. Thorough clinical and laboratory evaluation aims to exclude other causes of subglottic stenosis is therefore essential. Affected patients are almost exclusively Caucasian women between 30-60 years old. |
