BACKGROUND: Familial progressive hyper- and hypopigmentation (FPHH) is an autosomal dominant skin condition presenting in childhood with generalized macular dyspigmentation, usually reported in patients of East Asian origin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract BACKGROUND Familial progressive hyper- and hypopigmentation (FPHH) is an autosomal dominant skin condition presenting in childhood with generalized macular dyspigmentation, usually reported in patients of East Asian origin. [wwww.unboundmedicine.com]
The authors believed that FPHH is distinct from FPH, in which no hypopigmented features are present. [ijdvl.com]
Format Definition A disorder characterized by hyperpigmented patches in the skin, present in early infancy and increasing in size and number with age. [uniprot.org]
Aim We report two unrelated white families with similar phenotypic presentations of FPHH developing in early childhood in several generations. Methods Sanger sequencing of the exons and flanking introns of KITLG was performed. [kclpure.kcl.ac.uk]

Familial progressive hyper- and hypopigmentation is a rare, genetic, skin pigmentation anomaly disorder characterized by progressive, diffuse, partly blotchy, hyperpigmented lesions that are intermixed with multiple café-au-lait spots, hypopigmented maculae [orpha.net]
Clinical signs consist of progressive diffuse, partly blotchy hyperpigmented lesions, multiple café-au-lait spots, intermingled with scattered hypopigmented-appearing maculae, and lentigines. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
When noninvasive measures are equivocal, a biopsy may help to clarify the underlying etiology. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Although the precise etiology of this disorder is not yet known, the clinicopathological findings implicate an inherent abnormality of melanosomes or melanin processing [20]. [gulfdoctor.net]
