Darier's disease (DD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder characterized by loss of adhesion between epidermal cells (acantholysis) and abnormal keratinization. To date, at least 140 mutations in the ATP2A2 gene have been identified as the genetic basis of DD. Here we reported three familial and two sporadic Chinese DD patients totally with four missense mutations (N767D, M494I, M494L, C318F) and one splice-site mutation (1288-6A-->G) in ATP2A2 gene, and presented a literature review of DD cases reported in China since 1989. Our data add new variants to the repertoire of ATP2A2 gene in DD and confirms that most mutations in the ATP2A2 gene are private and missense type. Likewise, the literature review indicates that DD is not uncommon in China and presents more information about genotype-phenotype correlations.

Papular acantholytic dyskeratosis (PAD), often found to occur in the vulvar or anogenital area, is an exceedingly rare skin condition that usually presents in adulthood and features multiple smooth skin-colored or grayish-white papules with or without pruritus. Although the pathogenesis of PAD is unknown, PAD may be associated with mutations in ATP2C1 and ATP2A2 genes. Here, we report on an 18-year-old female patient with multiple gray-white flat papules in the anogenital area.

Introduction: Sexual dimorphism in Muscovy ducks results in substantial differences in muscle development potential between males and females, leading to significant variations in growth rates and body weights throughout their development.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying the differences in muscle development between genders in black Muscovy ducks, we analyzed the phenotypic characteristics and transcriptome profiles of breast muscles in male and female black Muscovy ducks at different developmental stages (postnatal days 28, 42, and 70).
Results: In the analysis of tissue physical morphology, the results showed that females exhibit larger myofiber diameters and lower myofiber densities compared to males at postnatal day 42 ( < 0.

Article Synopsis
- Disruption of calcium homeostasis in neurons is a key feature of neurodegenerative diseases, affecting neuronal stress and circuit function.
- Research using two-photon microscopy shows that conditions like ocular hypertension and optic nerve injury hinder retinal neurons' ability to clear calcium, impairing their response to light.
- The study identifies a loss of the SERCA2 pump in affected neurons, and restoring this pump through pharmacological methods or gene delivery improves calcium dynamics, reduces stress, and enhances survival and function of neurons.

Darier disease is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding for sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca ATPase isoform 2. The skin disease is characterized by a chronic relapsing course with recurrent reddish-brown keratotic papules and plaques located mainly in seborrhoeic areas. Due to chronic inflammation and epidermal barrier defects of the skin, patients often develop severe bacterial and viral superinfections.

Darier's disease is characterized by pruritic keratotic papules resulting from dysfunctional keratinocyte adhesion. Segmental Darier's is a rare variant thought to be caused by a post-zygotic somatic mutation. The mainstay of treatment consists of oral and topical retinoids and corticosteroids.
