EPIDERMOLYTIC PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA

Alternate names

EPIDERMOLYTIC PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA Is also known as eppk, keratosis palmaris et plantaris familiaris, diffuse erythrodermic palmoplantar keratoderma, vÖrner type, epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma of voerner, keratosis of greither, ppke, epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma of vÖrner, diffuse erythrodermic

Description

Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) is a common hereditary cutaneous disorder characterized by marked hyperkeratosis on the surface of palms and soles (Hennies et al., 1995). PPK has been classified into diffuse, focal, and punctate forms according to the pattern of hyperkeratosis on the palms and soles (Lucker et al., 1994). Diffuse PPK develops at birth or shortly thereafter and involves the entire palm and sole with a sharp cutoff at an erythematous border; there are no lesions outside the volar skin, and, in particular, no follicular or oral lesions. In contrast, focal PPK is a late-onset form in which focal hyperkeratotic lesions develop in response to mechanical trauma; an important distinguishing feature is the presence of lesions at other body sites, e.g., oral and follicular hyperkeratosis (Stevens et al., 1996). Palmoplantar keratodermas can be further subdivided histologically into epidermolytic and nonepidermolytic PPK (Risk et al., 1994). Genetic Heterogeneity of Palmoplantar KeratodermaNonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK ) is caused by mutation in the KRT1 gene. A focal form of NEPPK (FNEPPK1 ) is caused by mutation in the KRT16 gene (OMIM ). Another focal form, FNEPPK2 (OMIM ), is caused by mutation in the TRPV3 gene (OMIM ); mutation in TRPV3 can also cause Olmsted syndrome (OLMS ), a severe mutilating form of PPK. The diffuse Bothnian form of NEPPK (PPKB ) is caused by mutation in the AQP5 gene (OMIM ). The Nagashima type of nonepidermolytic diffuse PPK (PPKN ) is caused by mutation in the SERPINB7 gene (OMIM ).A generalized form of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK ), also designated bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (BCIE), is caused by mutation in the keratin genes KRT1 and KRT10 (OMIM ).For a discussion of punctate PPK, see {148600}; for a discussion of striate PPK, see {148700}.

PACHYONYCHIA CONGENITA 1; PC1

Alternate names

PACHYONYCHIA CONGENITA 1; PC1 Is also known as jadassohn-lewandowsky syndrome, formerly, pachyonychia congenita, jadassohn-lewandowsky type, formerly

Description

Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with the main clinical features of hypertrophic nail dystrophy, painful and highly debilitating plantar keratoderma, oral leukokeratosis, and a variety of epidermal cysts. Although the condition had previously been subdivided clinically into Jadassohn-Lewandowsky PC type 1 and Jackson-Lawler PC type 2, patients with PC were later found to have a mixed constellation of both types, leading to a classification of PC based on genotype (summary by Sybert, 2010; Eliason et al., 2012; McLean et al., 2011). Historical Classification of Pachyonychia CongenitaGorlin et al. (1976) suggested that 2 distinct syndromes are subsumed under the designation pachyonychia congenita. PC type 1, the Jadassohn-Lewandowsky type, shows oral leukokeratosis. PC type 2, the Jackson-Lawler type, has natal teeth and epidermoid cysts (cylindromas), but no oral leukoplakia. Corneal dystrophy may be a feature exclusively of the Jackson-Lawler type.Smith et al. (1998) stated that PC type 2, in contrast to PC type 1, has minimal oral involvement and milder keratoderma, and multiple steatocystomas (OMIM ) is a major clinical feature. Steatocystoma, also known as eruptive vellus cyst, is a cystic hamartoma lined by sebaceous ductal epithelium.On the basis of a study of 13 patients with PC type 1 or type 2, Terrinoni et al. (2001) concluded that the presence of pilosebaceous cysts following puberty is the best indicator of PC type 2; prepubescent patients are more difficult to classify due to the lack of cysts. Natal teeth are indicative of PC type 2, although their absence does not preclude the PC type 2 diagnosis. Genetic Heterogeneity of Pachyonychia CongenitaSee pachyonychia congenita-2 (PC2 ), caused by mutation in the KRT17 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 17; PC3 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the KRT6A gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 2; and PC4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation or in the KRT6B gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 12.See {260130} for a possible autosomal recessive form of pachyonychia congenita.
