Hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia (HMD) is a rare autosomal dominant disease affecting skin, mucosae, hair, eyes, and lungs. Prominent clinical features include non-scarring alopecia, mucosal erythema, perineal erythematous intertrigo, and involvement of the conjunctival mucosa. It has been reported that HMD is associated with mutations in SREBF1, a transcription factor that controls cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis.
