Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi (RAOH), also known as dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria, is a rare genodermatosis.
  • It is characterized by a symmetrical reticulate pattern of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules predominantly on the extremities.

Observation:

  • Two cases of RAOH are presented in patients of Afro-Caribbean and Indian descent residing in the UK.
  • Both patients exhibited the classic clinical features of the disorder.

Findings:

  • The report expands the known ethnic and geographic distribution of RAOH.
  • This suggests RAOH may be underdiagnosed in diverse populations.

Implications:

  • Alerts UK clinicians to the potential presence of RAOH in non-Asian patients.

  • Emphasizes the importance of considering RAOH in the differential diagnosis of reticulate skin patterns.
  • Highlights the need for increased awareness and recognition of this disorder globally.
