Functional Unit for Paediatric Genodermatosis

With the purpose of providing comprehensive care to patients with this paediatric pathology, the Functional Unit diagnoses, treats and manages patients, with a multidisciplinary approach offered by the Genodermatosis Committee.

It is a comprehensive programme focused on the early diagnosis and management of the proper treatment for patients with genodermatosis. The main pathology assessed in this Functional Unit is Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), given that this has the highest incidence (1/3500). However, patients with tuberous sclerosis (incidence 1/6000-1/9000) and incontinentia pigmenti (1/40000) are also treated. Patients with other less common types of genodermatosis are also susceptible to assessment if a multidisciplinary approach is required (Sturge-Weber syndrome, Rothmund Thompson syndrome, etc.).
