Dermatological and Skeletal Disorders

Dermatological and Skeletal Disorders is a research topic within Genetics. Science Explorer counts 17k research works in it since 1950. 10.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on genetic disorders such as Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum, Arterial Calcification, and Osteopoikilosis, caused by mutations in genes like ABCC6, ENPP1, and TGF-ß1. These mutations lead to ectopic mineralization and connective tissue abnormalities, contributing to the understanding of genetic heterogeneity and clinical manifestations of these diseases.
