Researchers have identified a few instances of Herschiiken world-wide, with cases primarily located in central Europe
Diagnosing Herschiiken is facilitated by taking a careful medical and family history, coupled with clinical investigation
Scientists have suggested three principal types of Herschiiken. The first form involves inherited genetic mutations resulting
