Description

DCWHKTA is an autosomal dominant heart disorder with dermatological and dental anomalies. Apart from cardiomyopathy, affected individuals also exhibit woolly textured hair and thick, scaly skin on their palms and soles. The condition is caused by mutations in the DSP gene, which encodes a protein involved in the organisation of desmosomes.
