Abstract: Objective: Amyloidosis cutis dyschromica (ACD) occurring after puberty is rare, herein, we report a family of ACD occurring after puberty and detect the variants of OSMR and IL31RA genes in this family. Methods: The peripheral blood of the proband and other 4 patients in family were collected with informed consent, and the exon 12-15 of OSMR gene and exon 12 of IL31RA gene were amplified by PCR and sequenced. Results: No significant variant was found in exon 12-15 of OSMR gene and exon 12 of IL31RA gene in all members of this family. Conclusion: No significant variant was found in exon 12-15 of OSMR gene and exon 12 of IL31RA gene in all members, there may be other mutations in this family which needs further verification.

Key words: amyloidosis cutis dyschromica, mutation
