Article Synopsis
- Genodermatoses are inherited skin disorders that can affect multiple systems, making diagnosis and treatment complex; a multidisciplinary approach combines dermatology and clinical genetics in a specialized clinic.
- A study analyzed data from 45 children who visited The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia’s Genodermatoses Clinic, focusing on demographics, genetic testing, and patient satisfaction.
- The results showed that a significant number of undiagnosed patients received clinical and/or molecular diagnoses, high satisfaction scores (91.4%), and highlighted barriers to genetic testing, like cost and insurance issues, underscoring the need for more support for such patients.
