Summaries for Helix Syndrome

About this section
KEGG : 36 HELIX syndrome is characterized by hypohidrosis, electrolyte imbalance, lacrimal gland dysfunction, ichthyosis, and xerostomia. It has been reported that mutations in CLDN10 cause HELIX syndrome.

MalaCards based summary : Helix Syndrome, also known as hypohidrosis, electrolyte imbalance, lacrimal gland dysfunction, ichthyosis, and xerostomia, is related to t-cell immunodeficiency, congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy and question mark ears, isolated. An important gene associated with Helix Syndrome is CLDN10 (Claudin 10), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Tight junction. The drugs Tranexamic Acid and Ophthalmic Solutions have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include heart, brain and breast, and related phenotypes are nephrolithiasis and polydipsia

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 HELIX syndrome: An autosomal recessive disease characterized by congenital heat intolerance, generalized anhidrosis, inability to produce tears, dry mouth, electrolyte imbalance, and ichthyosis.
