The part about patterns being "inbuilt into DNA" seems a little ridiculous, especially since it doesn't say what kind of patterns. Please delete it if there's no answer to this soon, since there's no citation. [[User:Peachypoh|Peachypoh]] ([[User talk:Peachypoh|talk]]) 10:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC) |

:The line was actually, "Blaschko's lines are an ''invisible pattern'' built into human DNA." While true (if overly simplistic) I can see how it might be a little unclear. I've made some changes to the article and added inline citations throughout. It's probably still somewhat confusing, but articles on rare and little-understood medical conditions are bound to be somewhat technical.

Article categorization
This article was initially categorized based on scheme outlined at WP:DERM:CAT. kilbad (talk) 02:55, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Comments
Is there any long term negative effects for having Blaschko's lines?
- Not as far as I know. They don't cause problems in and of themselves. They just cause other symptoms to act strangely. Kafziel Talk 12:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Occurence Rate
Does anyone know the occurence rate for these unexplainable lines? In the article it just says they are "extremely rare". WizardofOskemen 23:06, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Blaschko's lines & Dermatomes
Are Blaschko's lines & Dermatomes the same thing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.36.126.123 (talk) 23:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC).
- No, they're quite different. Compare these images: Dermatomes Blaschko —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.23.128 (talk) 10:38, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
See also:
I think there should be a "See also" link to Tabby cat, as they are similar phenomena and could have a related biological cause. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daecon (talk • contribs) 04:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
No Actual Definition
This article doesn't actually state what the lines are. The opening statement just defines them as a rare condition -- that doesn't qualify as a definition! What are they? Vertical/horizontal/irregular lines (dark, light, coloured, hairy?) on the skin/hair/eyes? Muscle? I have no idea, this article doesn't actually say. Reidlophile (talk) 13:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Inbuilt into DNA?
The part about patterns being "inbuilt into DNA" seems a little ridiculous, especially since it doesn't say what kind of patterns. Please delete it if there's no answer to this soon, since there's no citation. Peachypoh (talk) 10:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
