The management of cutaneous findings in genodermatoses is challenging to the practicing clinician, especially when all hues of skin and skin types are contemplated, and first-line therapies often inadequate. This carefully crafted Atlas includes all sorts of different ethnic skin types, while featuring a wealth of over 1000 commented images collected in more than a decade, including 200 rare genodermatoses, and providing the reader with key points for correct dermatological diagnosis. The contents start with disorders of keratinization and pigmentation, as well as bullous, acantholytic, dermal, hair and nail diseases. Successively, immunodeficiency syndromes and their skin related symptoms, hamartoneoplastic syndromes and defective excision repair syndromes are presented. The addition of vascular disorders, as well as syndromes with premature aging grant full topic coverage. This Atlas of Common and Rare Genodermatoses will be a valued companion to dermatologists and paediatric specialists in their daily practice.
