Article Synopsis
  • Hereditary palmoplantar keratodermas (hPPKs) are skin disorders marked by thickening of the skin on palms and soles, linked to genetic mutations in protease inhibitors SERPINA12 and SERPINB7.
  • The study utilized whole-exome sequencing to investigate the genetic basis and clinical features of these conditions, identifying a new SERPINA12 variant in European patients.
  • Findings suggest that patients with mutations in both genes exhibit similar symptoms, making genetic testing essential for accurate diagnosis since the conditions cannot be differentiated based solely on clinical presentation.

Background: Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms (AWP) is an excessive and early palmar wrinkling occurring after brief immersion to water (BIW), and has been reported as a frequent finding among Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients.

Objectives: To investigate any associations of CF patients presenting AWP with other disease characteristics and explore the pathomechanism of AWP phenomenon.

Methods: We evaluated AWP in CF patients and assessed the AWP parameters of palmar wrinkling, oedema, papules, pruritus and pain at 3, 7 and 11 min after a BIW test with other disease characteristics.

Background: Aquagenic urticaria (AquaU) is a rare variant of chronic inducible urticaria where wheals occur after skin contact with water. Information on clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes is limited, which makes the management of AquaU challenging.

Objective: To systematically review disease features and relevant triggers of AquaU and patients' response to treatment.
