HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:An anomaly of the hair follicles of the skin that typically presents as small, rough, brown folliculocentric papules distributed over characteristic areas of the skin, particularly the outer-upper arms and thighs.
Comment:Keratosis pilaris is characterized by abnormal keratinisation of the lining of the follicular infundibulum (the upper portion of the hair follicle). Keratin (i.e., scale) fills the follicle instead of exfoliating. Clinically, the keratotic plugs have been referred to as the carpet tack sign since they project up similar to carpet tacks.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Carpet tack sign;   Chicken skin;   Follicular keratosis;   Follicular keratotic plug;   Follicular plugging;   Hyperkeratosis pilaris;   Lichen pilaris
