Hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma (hPPK) comprises a clinical and heterogeneous group of skin disorders characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles. Variants of SERPINA12 have been implicated in autosomal recessive diffuse hPPK, which shares similarities with Nagashima-type PPK due to biallelic variants in SERPINB7. To date, seven SERPINA12 variants have been found in 11 patients with biallelic SERPINA12 variants worldwide.

Acral peeling skin syndrome (APSS; MIM 609796) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by painless focal cutaneous exfoliation of the dorsal hands and feet, typically displaying autosomal recessive inheritance. While cases associated with a founder mutation in TGM5 are relatively common in European Caucasian populations, no APSS cases have been reported from Japan or other East Asian countries. In contrast, Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK; MIM 615598), caused by variants in SERPINB7, is relatively common in East Asia due to founder mutations.

Article Synopsis
  • - Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratoderma is a genetic skin condition caused by mutations in the SERPINB7 gene, commonly seen in Asians, with no effective treatment currently available as its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • - Research using Serpinb7 mice revealed a compromised skin barrier and reduced epidermal differentiation, particularly following treatment with acetone-ether-water, highlighting the role of SERPINB7 in maintaining skin integrity.
  • - The study found that SERPINB7 functions as an inhibitor of the protease legumain, and its deficiency results in increased legumain activity, which disrupts cytoskeletal proteins and contributes to the skin barrier issues in this condition.
