A number sign (#) is used with this entry because epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma is caused by heterozygous mutation in the keratin-9 gene (KRT9; 607606) on chromosome 17q12. A mild form of epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma is caused by mutation in the keratin-1 gene (KRT1; 139350) on chromosome 12q.

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 Keratoderma Nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK; 600962) is caused by mutation in the KRT1 gene. A focal form of NEPPK (FNEPPK1; 613000) is caused by mutation in the KRT16 gene (148067). Another focal form, FNEPPK2 (616400), is caused by mutation in the TRPV3 gene (607066); mutation in TRPV3 can also cause Olmsted syndrome (OLMS; 614594), a severe mutilating form of PPK. The diffuse Bothnian form of NEPPK (PPKB; 600231) is caused by mutation in the AQP5 gene (600442). The Nagashima type of nonepidermolytic diffuse PPK (PPKN; 615598) is caused by mutation in the SERPINB7 gene (603357). A generalized form of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK; 113800), also designated bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (BCIE), is caused by mutation in the keratin genes KRT1 and KRT10 (148080).

NOMENCLATURE

Vorner (1901) provided an early description of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis limited to the palms and soles, whereas Thost (1880) and Unna (1883) reported what appeared to be a nonepidermolytic form of palmoplantar keratoderma; the designations 'Vorner' and 'Unna-Thost' thus became eponymous for the epidermolytic and nonepidermolytic forms of the disorder, respectively. However, Kuster and Becker (1992) and Kuster et al. (2002) reinvestigated the Thost kindred and found features of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in several descendants; Lind et al. (1994) stated that the designation 'Unna-Thost' is misleading and should be avoided.

CLINICAL FEATURES

Localized epidermolytic hyperkeratosis was first described by Vorner (1901). Blasik et al. (1981), Fritsch et al. (1978), and Camisa and Williams (1985) reported affected families. In an affected father and daughter, Moriwaki et al. (1988) noted a decrease in 67-kD keratin (KRT1; 139350) in the involved epidermis and the appearance of 48-kD keratin. Southern blot analysis using 67-kD keratin cDNA showed no abnormality in the gene for 67-kD keratin. Kanitakis et al. (1987) reported a Greek family with EPPK in which 21 individuals over 6 generations were affected, all ... More on the omim web site
