Bazex-Dupré-Christol syndrome (BDCS; MIM301845) is a rare X-linked dominant genodermatosis characterized by follicular atrophoderma, congenital hypotrichosis and multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Previous studies have linked BDCS to an 11·4-Mb interval on chromosome Xq25-q27.1. However, the genetic mechanism of BDCS remains an open question.
