Suberosis - what does this mean
Suberosis is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the slc35a2 gene, which is responsible for producing a protein essential for the proper functioning of the endoplasmic reticulum. this mutation reduces the protein's ability to transport sugars, resulting in an accumulation of sugar molecules in the body's cells, leading to abnormal cell growth and development.
What happens during the disease - suberosis
Suberosis is a type of fungal infection caused by the fungus suberomyces suberosus. it is characterized by the formation of small, yellowish-brown spots on the skin, which may become itchy and painful. the infection is believed to be caused by direct contact with the fungus, which can be found in soil, decaying vegetation, and other organic materials. the fungus can also be spread by contact with infected individuals or objects. once the fungus enters the body, it can cause an immune response, resulting in inflammation and the formation of lesions on the skin. treatment typically involves antifungal medications and topical creams.
