Vitiligo, alopecia areata, atopic, and stasis dermatitis are common skin conditions that pose diagnostic and assessment challenges. Skin image analysis is a promising noninvasive approach for objective and automated detection as well as quantitative assessment of skin diseases. This review provides a systematic literature search regarding the analysis of computer vision techniques applied to these benign skin conditions, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Curation of OCA2 Variants of Uncertain Significance From Chinese Oculocutaneous Albinism Patients Based on Multiplex Assays.

Pigment Cell Melanoma Res

Beijing Key Laboratory for Genetics of Birth Defects, Beijing Pediatric Research Institute, Genetics and Birth Defects Control Center, National Center for Children's Health, MOE Key Laboratory of Major Diseases in Children, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - Oculocutaneous albinism type 2 (OCA-2) is linked to changes in the OCA2 gene, and this study aims to better classify uncertain gene variants using a method called multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs).
  • - By analyzing variants from publicly available data, the research found that pathogenic variants behaved abnormally while benign ones worked normally, supporting a structured re-classification process for uncertain variants.
  • - Out of 38 patients, the analysis provided a clearer diagnosis for 7 individuals, demonstrating the effectiveness of MAVEs for improving genetic testing and offering a valuable resource for future research and public clinical databases.

Ectodermal dysplasia with facial dysmorphism and acral, ocular, and brain anomalies (EDFAOB) is a rare neuroectodermal syndrome caused by somatic mosaic mutations in the RHOA gene. It presents with linear skin hypopigmentation, facial and limb asymmetry, dental and acral anomalies, and leukoencephalopathy, generally preserving intellectual and neurological functions. We report two cases of EDFAOB.
