Vohwinkel syndrome (mutilating and diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma) is associated with various extracutaneous features including icthyosis and deafness. Its mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant with mutation in loricrin and Connexin 26 genes. Here we report a mutilating and focal palmoplantar keratoderma in two siblings with congenital hypotrichosis and probably autosomal recessive inheritance that appears to be a new variant of Vohwinkel syndrome.

Case: Vohwinkel syndrome is a rare, inherited condition marked by defective keratinization. The disorder may feature digital constriction bands (pseudoainhum) which can lead to autoamputation. Surgical excision is the only treatment of pseudoainhum; however, it is fraught with recurrence.

Article Synopsis
- Hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma is a rare genetic skin condition marked by thickening of the skin on the palms and soles, influenced by various genetic mutations affecting keratin-related proteins.
- A case involving a 29-year-old HIV-positive African woman showcases the complexity of this condition, with her symptoms including painful constriction bands and skin thickening, which led to complications like toe amputation.
- Genetic testing revealed uncertain findings related to specific genes, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and emphasizing the need for early detection and proper treatment to improve patient quality of life.

Article Synopsis
- * This study reports on two variants found in affected families, including a novel pathogenic variant (c.639_642dup) and a rare variant (c.10C > T) of uncertain significance.
- * Transcriptome analysis reveals that genes related to skin development are upregulated in LK lesions, while those involved in various essential functions are downregulated, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis and potential implications for treatment and genetic counseling.
