Definition
English
:
Autosomal dominant, congenital disorder characterized by localized hypomelanosis of the
skin
and
hair
. The most familiar feature is a white forelock presenting in 80 to 90 percent of the
patients
. The underlying defect is possibly related to the differentiation and
migration
of melanoblasts, as well as to defective development of the
neural crest
(neurocristopathy).
Piebaldism
may be closely related to
Waardenburg's syndrome.
