NON-EPIDERMOLYTIC PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA

Alternate names

NON-EPIDERMOLYTIC PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA Is also known as ppkne, nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma, autosomal dominant diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma, norrbotten type, neppk, diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma, bothnian type, keratoderma, nonepidermolytic palmoplantar, tylosis

Description

Non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma is characterised by a diffuse non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma with frequent fungal infections. Prevalence in the general population is estimated at 1 in 40,000 but is much higher in northern Sweden (0.3-0.55%). Transmission is autosomal dominant and the causative gene has been localised to chromosome 12q11-q13.

Most common symptoms of NON-EPIDERMOLYTIC PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA

  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Erythema
  • Papule
  • Pruritus
  • Palmoplantar keratoderma

PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA, BOTHNIAN TYPE; PPKB

Description

Hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma is characterized by hyperkeratosis of the skin of palms and soles. Lind et al. (1994) described an autosomal dominant form of diffuse nonepidermolytic PPK, designated PPK type Bothnia, which has a high prevalence of 0.3 to 0.55% in the 2 northernmost provinces of Sweden, situated to the west and the northwest of the Gulf of Bothnia. The Bothnian form is frequently complicated by fungal infections and lacks the histopathologic features distinctive of epidermolytic PPK (OMIM ).For discussion of phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), see epidermolytic PPK (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA, BOTHNIAN TYPE; PPKB

  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Erythema
  • Pruritus
  • Palmoplantar keratoderma
  • Diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma
