Many of these hereditary reticulate pigmentary disorders have a wide array of cutaneous presentations with overlapping features. Furthermore, some of these disorders also have systemic manifestations. The overlapping features often add confusion and cause delay in diagnosis. Based on a literature search, we propose an easy-to-follow and concise diagnostic algorithm for diagnosis. This algorithm would aid in ordering a definitive genetic test. A thorough data search was done using the PubMed database with the following keywords: (\u2018inherit*\u2019 OR \u2018genetic\u2019) AND (\u2018reticulate AND pigment*\u2019). Thereafter, a search for individual diseases was done using the keywords \u2018Dowling\u2013Degos disease\u2019, \u2018dyschromatosis hereditaria symmetrica\u2019, \u2018acropigmentation of Kitamura\u2019, \u2018dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria\u2019, \u2018Naegeli\u2013Franceschetti\u2013Jadassohn syndrome\u2019, \u2018X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder\u2019 and \u2018dyskeratosis congenita\u2019. The search included case reports, case series, observational studies, narrative and systematic reviews, and clinical trials. Acquired pigmentary disorders were excluded. In total, 1994 articles were retrieved. Finally, 625 articles were included for the review. The articles were narrative reviews (40), case series (23), observational studies (44) and case reports (518). An easy-to-follow clinical diagnostic algorithm was prepared based on age of onset, distribution and other parameters. This algorithm will aid in reaching a provisional diagnosis. Furthermore, this approach will help in the genetic investigations of a case of hereditary reticulate pigmentary disorder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ced\/llae322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]],"date-time":"2024-08-14T08:13:30Z","timestamp":1723623210000},"page":"12-20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["An
