Could maybe add the age that the children were followed until in the paper since they haven't reached adulthood without additional symptoms yet. Maybe also if the phenotype differs from other types of hyperpigmentation.

This information in details seems to belong in the mechanism_detail section. Here you could include some information about the tandem repeat itself. For example the information used to estimate the benign and pathogenic ranges and that the parents were heterozygous.

Edited the disease description and details.

This is great, thanks!
A few more suggestions

One more request. I think it needs to be made clear that there is limited evidence. I suggest adding that:
Only a single family with two monozygotic twin probands has been reported.
No change in expression of the gene has been observed so the variant has yet to be biochemically confirmed as the causal variant. Or something along those lines.

Studied children with CPUM have been born to unaffected parents. The children studied have been born with diffuse, universal, and progressive hyperpigmentaion at 15 years of age. At this time the hyperpigmentation had fully progressed [@doi:10.3892/br.2025.2016].",

May or may not be a new disease as shared phenotype features with ....
