- Kohlmeier-degos disease
Degos disease is an extremely rare disorder in which small and medium sized arteries become blocked (occlusive arteriopathy), restricting the flow of blood to affected areas. Degos disease usually causes characteristic skin lesions that may last for a period of time ranging from weeks to years. In some individuals, Degos disease will be limited to the skin (benign cutaneous Degos disease); other individuals will also develop symptoms affecting Read More
- Lipoprotein lipase deficiency
Familial lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency is a rare genetic metabolic disorder characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase. The deficiency of this enzyme prevents affected individuals from properly digesting certain fats and results in a massive accumulation of fatty droplets called chylomicrons in the circulation (chylomicronemia) and consequently also an increase of the plasma concentration of fatty substances called tr Read More

A rare condition known as uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase deficiency is characterized by painful, blistering skin lesions that appear on skin exposed to the sun (photosensitivity). After minimal trauma, the fragile skin of the affected area may peel or blister. The liver may also exhibit abnormalities. Low levels of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase are the cause of PCT (UROD). Signs and Symptoms of uroporp Read More
