So far, the disorder is generally described as an autosomal dominant trait. By contrast, the following arguments are in favor of the alternative concept that POH should rather be taken as a non-specific segmental manifestation of different\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">GNAS<\/jats:italic>\n                      inactivation disorders such as Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) with hormone resistance, AHO without hormone resistance, and osteomatosis cutis. Presently, POH has got its own OMIM number 166350 but this is obviously wrong because the disorder does not reflect heterozygosity for a\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">GNAS<\/jats:italic>\n                      mutation. Conversely, the disorder is most likely due to an early event of postzygotic loss of heterozygosity with loss of the corresponding wild-type allele. This alternative concept, as proposed in 2016, offers a plausible explanation for the following features of POH. Familial occurrence is usually absent. POH is usually observed in families with one of the three\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">GNAS<\/jats:italic>\n                      inactivation disorders as mentioned above. Mosaicism is suggested by the pronounced segmental manifestation of POH and by its lateralization. Some patients have, in addition to POH, bilaterally disseminated features of osteomatosis cutis or AHO, and other patients have family members with one of these nonsegmental disorders. Remarkably, POH tends to appear much earlier than the nonsegmental\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">GNAS<\/jats:italic>\n                      inactivation disorders. \u2013 Molecular support of the concept was documented in a superficial variant of POH called 'plate-like osteoma cutis'. In several other autosomal dominant skin disorders, molecular corroboration of the theory of superimposed mosaicism has been provided. \u2013 For all of these reasons, it is unlikely that POH can further be taken as a distinct autosomal dominant trait. Generation of more molecular data in multiple cases of POH occurring in\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">GNAS<\/jats:italic>\n                      inactivation disorders will be crucial to corroborate the proposed concept.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
