Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to clarify the dermatological features of Costello syndrome (CS) and distinguish them from other similar syndromes like cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS) and types of Noonan syndrome (NS).
  • A ten-year multi-center study involving 31 patients found common skin and hair anomalies in CS, such as excessive eyebrows and various types of skin growths, which can help differentiate CS from CFCS and NS.
  • The findings propose multiple melanocytic naevi as a potential marker for a milder form of CS and suggest that acitretin could be beneficial for treating certain skin conditions, although no clear genotype-phenotype link was identified.
