Rothmund-Thomson syndrome

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects how your body develops. It causes skin changes, such as redness, scars, and hair loss, often starting in childhood. People with this condition may also experience skeletal abnormalities, eye problems, and an increased risk of certain cancers. The syndrome results from mutations in specific genes that influence cell growth and development. While there’s no cure, management focuses on monitoring health issues and addressing symptoms early. Rothmund-Thomson syndrome is inherited, meaning it’s passed down through families.
