last update : mct
Symbol IANHI
Location 12p11.23
Name isolated anhidrosis
Corresponding gene ITPR2
Other symbol(s) ANHD
Main clinical features
  • isolated anhidrosis, but morphologically normal eccrine sweat glands
  • inability to sweat (anhidrosis) results in heat intolerance that may cause impaired consciousness and death
  • Genetic determination autosomal recessive
    Function/system disorder dermatology
    Type disease
    Remark(s) . mutation is localized within the pore forming region of ITPR2 and abrogates Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum, which suggests that intracellular Ca2+ release by ITPR2 in clear cells of the sweat glands is important for eccrine sweat production (PMID: 25329695))
