DEAR EDITOR, Acne is one of the most common skin diseases, with a multifactorial aetiology and multiple players contributing to its complex pathogenesis. 1 Acne is also a feature of several genetic conditions, including monogenic disorders such as autoinflammatory syndromes or Apert syndrome. Several mosaic forms of acne have been described clinically. 2, 3 The underlying molecular mechanisms remain mostly hypothetical and have only been explored in a few cases of mosaic manifestation of Apert syndrome. 4, 5 Here we report a 12-year-old boy who developed early, severe acne on pre-existent hypopigmentations distributed along Blaschko lines on the trunk, arms and face. We elucidated the molecular background of these lesions by analysing different areas of the affected skin with laser dissection microscopy (LDM), DNA isolation and sequencing of FGFR2, which encodes fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), which is associated with a spectrum of congenital skeletal disorders, including Apert syndrome.Since his first year of life, the patient had systematized linear hypomelanosis on the arms and trunk. During early childhood he had a minor delay in mental development and an attention deficit disorder for which he was treated with methylphenidate. At the age of 8 years, acne with comedones, inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules and scars developed predominantly on the hypopigmented areas, following the Blaschko lines on the trunk, arms and face (Fig. 1a–c). Remission was achieved with oral isotretinoin for 6 months, leaving behind linear scars. No recurrence was noticed during a 3-year follow-up (Fig. 1d), and no further evidence of mental deficiency was found during the same period. Blood parameters remained within the normal range throughout. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed no abnormalities, and a thorough full-body check-up disclosed no bone defects. Family history was unremarkable. After informed consent was obtained, an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) test was performed on blood taken from the patient and his parents, and one skin biopsy from a linear acne lesion on the back of the patient was performed.
