    GlossaryCutaneous Mosaicism

    condition where skin patches have different genetic makeups

    Cutaneous mosaicism refers to a condition where different patches of skin on the same individual have distinct genetic makeups. This occurs due to mutations in skin cells during early development, leading to areas of skin that can vary in color, texture, or susceptibility to certain conditions. For professionals, it is important to note that this phenomenon can result from postzygotic mutations and can manifest in various dermatological patterns such as lines of Blaschko.
