Disease Profile
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita
Prevalence estimates on Rare Medical Network websites are calculated based on data available from numerous sources, including US and European government statistics, the NIH, Orphanet, and published epidemiologic studies. Rare disease population data is recognized to be highly variable, and based on a wide variety of source data and methodologies, so the prevalence data on this site should be assumed to be estimated and cannot be considered to be absolutely correct.

Inheritance
Autosomal dominant A pathogenic variant in only one gene copy in each cell is sufficient to cause an autosomal dominant disease.
Autosomal recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of each gene of the chromosome are needed to cause an autosomal recessive disease and observe the mutant phenotype.
X-linked
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.
X-linked
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.
Mitochondrial or multigenic Mitochondrial genetic disorders can be caused by changes (mutations) in either the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA that lead to dysfunction of the mitochondria and inadequate production of energy.
Multigenic or multifactor Inheritance involving many factors, of which at least one is genetic but none is of overwhelming importance, as in the causation of a disease by multiple genetic and environmental factors.

Summary
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a
CMTC can occur alone or along with a variety of other birth defects, particularly those involving undergrowth or overgrowth of the same arm or leg. Most cases are thought to be sporadic (non
Symptoms
CMTC is generally present at birth (
• Red or purple marbled looking patches of skin that don’t respond to warmth (cutis marmorata)
• Clusters of blood vessels visible under the skin (telangiectasia)
• Skin ulcers (open sores)
• Limb size discrepancy
The skin findings are usually seen in on part of the skin on the lower limbs, but can be on upper limbs or trunk, and less often, on the face. CMTC is usually confined to one part of the skin, on one limb, or on one side of the body. In rare cases, CMTC covers the whole body. The skin symptoms of CMTC typically get better over time and there are no known long-term complications of this condition.[3][2]
CMTC can also be found associated with other
This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.

Differential diagnoses include Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, Bockenheimer syndrome, some port-wine stain capillary malformations, and macrocephaly-CMTC (see these terms). Persistence of skin changes with local warming distinguishes CMTC from physiological cutis marmorata.
