Hailey-Hailey disease (OMIM#169600) is an autosomal dominantly inherited genodermatosis characterized by erosions in the flexural areas of the body. Hailey-Hailey disease is caused by variants in ATP2C1, but for ~10% of the patients, no causative variant is found in the coding region of ATP2C1. We aimed to determine the genetic cause of Hailey-Hailey disease in a family without a variant in the coding areas of ATP2C1.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hailey-Hailey disease is an autosomal dominant condition caused by a mutation in the ATP2C1 gene, leading to painful skin blisters and erosions, particularly in folds of the skin.
  • - There is currently no cure for the disease, and treatments mainly focus on managing infections and inflammation, with a recent emphasis on targeting the disease's biochemical pathways.
  • - In a case series involving three patients with severe Hailey-Hailey disease, the use of the biologic drug adalimumab successfully controlled their symptoms and maintained remission.
