| Summary: | Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria (DUH) belongs to a group of congenital diffuse reticulate pigmentary disorders characterised by
both hypo and hyper pigmented macules. It is both hereditary and sporadic. A number of associated cutaneous and systemic diseases
have been reported. The recent discovery of the mutation in ATP binding cassette protein, ABCB6 in DUH attempts to explain the reason
behind the pigmentary abnormalities and varied associations. We add a new association by reporting a case of DUH with primary ovarian
failure (POF) and hypothyroidism. |
