ERYTHROKERATODERMIA VARIABILIS ET PROGRESSIVA 2; EKVP2

Description

Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva-2 is a genodermatosis characterized by persistent plaque-like or generalized hyperkeratosis and transient red patches of variable size, shape, and location. The severity and dominating features of the disease vary strikingly within families and also during an individual's course of disease. The erythematous component usually prevails in young children, whereas hyperkeratosis is the dominant or sole feature in adults. Some patients with EKVP2 display lesions resembling erythema gyratum repens (summary by Richard et al., 2003). EKVP was previously thought to be separate disorders: erythrokeratodermia variabilis (EKV) and progressive symmetric erythrokeratodermia (PSEK) (van Steensel et al., 2009).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EKVP, see EKVP1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of ERYTHROKERATODERMIA VARIABILIS ET PROGRESSIVA 2; EKVP2

  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Erythema
  • Palmoplantar keratoderma
  • Generalized hyperkeratosis

ERYTHROKERATODERMIA VARIABILIS

Alternate names

ERYTHROKERATODERMIA VARIABILIS Is also known as psek, erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva, ekvp, ekv, erythrokeratodermia variabilis, mendes da costa type, erythrokeratodermia figurata, congenital familial, in plaques, erythrokeratodermia, progressive symmetric, erythrokeratodermia variabilis with e

Description

The erythrokeratodermias are a clinically variable and genetically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by widespread erythematous plaques, stationary or migratory, associated with nonmigratory hyperkeratoses (summary by Ishida-Yamamoto et al., 1997). The condition is usually present at birth or occurs during the first year but may begin later in childhood or even in early adulthood. Lesions preferentially affect the face, buttocks, and extensor surfaces of the limbs. Palmoplantar keratoderma occurs in about half the cases, but hair, nails, and teeth are not affected (summary by Macfarlane et al., 1991). Genetic Heterogeneity of Erythrokeratodermia Variabilis et ProgressivaSee EKVP2 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the GJB4 gene (OMIM ); EKVP3 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the GJA1 gene (OMIM ); EKVP4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the KDSR gene (OMIM ); and EKVP5 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the KRT83 gene (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of ERYTHROKERATODERMIA VARIABILIS

  • Intellectual disability
  • Short stature
  • Hearing impairment
  • Microcephaly
  • Cataract
