Early-onset seborrheic keratoses were observed in three family members. This suggests a genetic component, specifically autosomal dominant inheritance, contributing to the predisposition for developing seborrheic keratoses.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Human Genetics

Background:

  • Seborrhoeic keratoses are common benign skin tumors.
  • Their etiology is generally considered age-related, but genetic factors are increasingly recognized.

Observation:

  • This study documents the early onset of seborrhoeic keratoses in three individuals across two generations within a single family.
  • The affected individuals presented with numerous lesions at a young age.

Findings:

  • The pattern of occurrence within the family is consistent with autosomal dominant transmission.
  • This familial clustering provides strong evidence for a genetic predisposition to seborrhoeic keratoses.

Implications:

  • Understanding the genetic basis of early-onset seborrhoeic keratoses can aid in genetic counseling.
