INCONTINENTIA PIGMENTI

Welcome to this web site developed by the Incontinentia Pigmenti International Foundation to help patients, families, researchers and health care professionals to understand IP and its effects. The Foundation offers information about the disorder, patient and family support, as well as research support.

Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is a genetic disease of the skin, hair, teeth and central nervous system. The condition was named because of the way the skin looks under the microscope. "Bloch-Sulzberger Syndrome" is another name commonly used for IP. Other names are: Bloch-Siemens incontinentia pigmenti, melanoblastosis cutis linearis, and pigmented dermatosis, Siemens-Bloch type.
