PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA I, STRIATE, FOCAL, OR DIFFUSE; PPKS1

Alternate names

PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA I, STRIATE, FOCAL, OR DIFFUSE; PPKS1 Is also known as kpps1, keratoderma, palmoplantar, striate form i, sppk1, striate palmoplantar keratoderma i, keratosis palmoplantaris striata i

Description

Striate palmoplantar keratoderma belongs to a group of skin diseases in which there is thickening of the skin on the palms and soles. The striate form is characterized by longitudinal hyperkeratotic lesions extending the length of each finger to the palm, and hyperkeratotic lesions are restricted to regions of the body where pressure and abrasion are greatest (summary by Hunt et al., 2001). Patients with diffuse or focal forms of keratoderma associated with mutation in the DSG1 gene have also been reported (Keren et al., 2005; Milingou et al., 2006). Genetic Heterogeneity of Keratosis Palmoplantaris StriataType II PPKS (PPKS2 ) is caused by mutation in the DSP gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 6.Type III PPKS (PPKS3 ) is caused by mutation in the keratin-1 gene (KRT1 ) on chromosome 12q.For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), see epidermolytic PPK (OMIM ).Nitoiu et al. (2014) reviewed desmosome biology in cardiocutaneous syndromes and inherited skin disease, including discussion of the involvement of the DSG1 and DSP genes.

Most common symptoms of PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA I, STRIATE, FOCAL, OR DIFFUSE; PPKS1

  • Neoplasm
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Hyperhidrosis
  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Nail dystrophy

SEVERE DERMATITIS-MULTIPLE ALLERGIES-METABOLIC WASTING SYNDROME

Alternate names

SEVERE DERMATITIS-MULTIPLE ALLERGIES-METABOLIC WASTING SYNDROME Is also known as congenital erythroderma-hypotrichosis-recurrent infections-multiple food allergies syndrome, sam syndrome, severe dermatitis, multiple allergies, and metabolic wasting syndrome

Description

Severe dermatitis-multiple allergies-metabolic wasting syndrome is a rare, genetic, epidermal disorder characterized by congenital erythroderma with severe psoriasiform dermatitis, ichthyosis, severe palmoplantar keratoderma, yellow keratosis on the hands and feet, elevated immunoglobulin E, multiple food allergies, and metabolic wasting. Other variable features may include hypotrichosis, nail dystrophy, recurrent infections, mild global developmental delay, eosinophillia, nystagmus, growth impairment and cardiac defects.

Most common symptoms of SEVERE DERMATITIS-MULTIPLE ALLERGIES-METABOLIC WASTING SYNDROME

  • Microcephaly
  • Growth delay
  • Ventricular septal defect
  • Recurrent infections
  • Recurrent respiratory infections

DIFFUSE PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA WITH PAINFUL FISSURES

Description

Diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma with painful fissures is a rare, genetic, isolated palmoplantar keratoderma disorder characterized by non-epidermolytic, diffuse hyperkeratotic lesions affecting both the palms and the soles, associated with a tendency of painful fissuring. Contrary to the clinical findings, histologic examination reveals findings suggestive of keratosis palmoplantaris striata, with orthohyperkeratosis featuring widening of the intercellular spaces and disadhesion of keratocytes in the upper epidermal layers.

FOCAL PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA WITH JOINT KERATOSES

Description

Focal palmoplantar keratoderma with joint keratoses is a rare, genetic, isolated palmoplantar keratoderma disorder characterized by focal hyperkeratotic lesions affecting the pressure- and mechanical trauma-bearing areas of the palms and soles, as well as hyperkeratotic plaques involving joints, including knees, elbows, ankles and dorsa of interphalangeal joints.

STRIATE PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA

Alternate names

STRIATE PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA Is also known as keratosis palmoplantaris striata et areata, keratosis palmoplantaris varians of wachters, keratosis palmoplantaris striata

Description

Striate palmoplantar keratoderma is an isolated, focal, hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma characterized by linear hyperkeratosis along the flexor aspect of the fingers and on palms, as well as focal hyperkeratosis of the plantar skin. Patients present with painful thickening of the skin on palms and soles, with occasional fissuring, blistering and hyperhidrosis. Rarely, hyperkeratosis on other areas may be seen (knees, dorsal aspects of the digits). Histopatologically, widened intercellular spaces between keratinocytes are observed.

Most common symptoms of STRIATE PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA

  • Palmoplantar keratoderma
  • Abnormality of the hair
  • Abnormality of the nail
