Background: An association between punctate palmoplantar keratoderma type 1 (PPPK1) and malignancy has been proposed for decades. Some authors suggest that individuals with PPPK1 should undergo screening for various types of malignancies while others caution that an association is not well-established. In this systematic review, we summarized and evaluated the current evidence for a possible association between PPPK1 and malignancy.

Methods: The review was conducted along PRISMA guidelines. The search used Embase, MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Human Gene Mutation Database up to March 2022. All studies reporting on individuals with the diagnosis of PPPK1 with or without history of malignancy were included. Two authors screened for eligible studies, extracted predefined data, and performed a quality assessment.

Results: Of 773 studies identified, 45 were included. Most studies were reports on single families (24 of 45 studies) or multiple families (10 of 45 studies). The number of index cases with PPPK1 across all included studies was 280, and when family members reported with PPPK1 were added, a total of 817 individuals were identified. Overall, 23 studies reported on individuals with PPPK1 with a history of malignancy, whereas 22 studies reported on individuals with PPPK1 without a history of malignancy. Although the extracted data were not considered to be of sufficient quality to synthesize and answer our research question, the review did not confirm an association between PPPK1 and malignancy.

Conclusion: This review shows that there is a lack of well-designed studies on this topic to conclude whether individuals with PPPK1 have an increased risk of malignancy. Based on the present literature, however, we could not confirm an association between PPPK1 and malignancy and find it highly questionable if patients with PPPK1 should be offered surveillance for malignancies.

Article Synopsis
  • Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma type 1 (PPPK1) is a rare genetic condition causing hard, raised patches on the palms and soles, caused by mutations in the AAGAB gene.
  • * In a study, four Japanese patients from two families were found to share a new AAGAB mutation that resulted in similar mild symptoms only on their soles.
  • * This discovery suggests that there may be a link between the specific mutation (c.844G>A) and the mild phenotype, indicating the need for proper diagnosis to avoid confusion with other skin conditions.

Mutations in 18 Canadian Families With Punctate Palmoplantar Keratoderma and a Possible Link to Cancer.

Background: Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma type 1 (PPPK1) presents in late childhood to adulthood with multiple small discrete hyperkeratotic papules on palms and soles. PPPK1 is an autosomal dominant skin disease caused by mutations. It has been suggested that PPPK1 may be associated with an increased predisposition to systemic malignancies.

Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma type 1 (PPPK1) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited skin disease, characterized by multiple hyperkeratotic lesions on the palms and soles. The causative gene for PPPK1 has been identified as AAGAB, which encodes α- and γ-adaptin-binding protein p34. We describe the clinical features in three unrelated families with PPPK1, and report three recurrent causative mutations in AAGAB.
