Learn About ADULT Syndrome

What is the definition of ADULT Syndrome?
ADULT syndrome, also known as Acro-Dermato-Ungual-Lacrimal-Tooth syndrome, is a rare genetic autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia (abnormality of ectodermal tissues) caused by a TP63 mutation. In the human embryo, ectodermal tissues form many structures, including teeth, nails, hair, skin, fingers, and toes.
What are the symptoms of ADULT Syndrome?
Symptoms of ADULT syndrome include abnormalities of ectodermal tissue, such as hypodontia (absence of one or more teeth); nail and lacrimal (tear) duct abnormalities; conjunctivitis; light sensitivity; hypoplastic breasts (insufficient mammary glandular tissue); hypotrichosis (little or no hair growth); blonde or light hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows; lack of axillary (underarm) hair; dry or thin skin; dermatitis or eczema; excessive freckling; as well as ectrodactyly (an abnormality of fingers or toes, such as split hand or foot, or a lack of fingers or toes), lack of fingerprints, and syndactyly (fused fingers or toes).

What are the current treatments for ADULT Syndrome?
Treatment for ADULT syndrome requires a multidisciplinary team of specialists. Some deformities of the hands and feet may be treated with surgery, while dental treatment may include the use of dentures, dental implants, or bridges. Associated skin disorders, such as dry skin or eczema, may be treated with topical emollients. Abnormalities of the lacrimal (tear) ducts may require ophthalmological (eye) surgery.

Dr. Neskovic was born in Belgrade, Serbia, on February 12, 1953, in a farmer's family, and he was supposed to continue farming the same way his father, grandfather and grandfather did. But, from maybe age 3 he wanted to become a physician or maybe a Serbian priest, but that desire to become a physician was so strong that he never deviated from his original idea which became his lifelong passion and his calling. He remembers clearly when he put on that white coat as a medical student in Belgrade University in 1971, and he still has that real and very distinct feeling which is hard to explain, and he has that feeling every single time when he puts on his white coat.His medical practice began in Vukovar and Tovarnik (from 1977 to 1980), and continued in Chicago and Galena, Illinois, Daytona Beach, Florida and Glendale and Burbank, CA: 1980 till present.He has been a physician for 40 years, and he still cannot believe that! This is such an honor to him to be part of his sacred profession, and he believes that he will never retire, because he loves medicine so much and it is his lifelong passion. A few years ago he became preceptor in family medicine with Midwestern University, and that became his new passion and he really loves to share his knowledge with young doctors. He always had great respect for Oriental medicine and in June 2015 he became student at Emperor's college for Oriental medicine and acupuncture, and is still learning so much about medicine, and he would love to practice Western and Oriental medicine one day.Spasoje is married to his wife Gordana from April 9th 1989 and has two sons, Alexander and Marko.His physical health and emotional and mental and spiritual health was always very important to him, and he completed so far 23 Los Angeles Marathon's, and with a group of friends he does hike almost every week and he conquered also Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Rainier, Mount Shasta, Mount Whitney, Mount Langley, Mount San Jacinto and many other peaks. His hiking and healthy lifestyle helps him to stay in harmony with the universe and to help nourish his life. He is now 63 years old, and he cannot believe that, because he feels still like he is 27 years old. He is skiing and skateboarding like a young man with his positive mental attitude. Staying healthy is a very serious business, and maybe because of those reasons, he is studying Oriental medicine, trying to understand better the ancient Oriental doctors and their philosophy of healthy living, and what does it really mean "nourishing life". . His top areas of expertise are Vitamin D Deficiency, Vascular Dementia, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and Hypertension.
