Article Abstract
Introduction: Newborn filiform periungual hyperkeratosis (NFPH) incidence and prevalence during the neonatal period remain unknown and have not been described in current literature. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid complications during the neonatal period, such as acute paronychia.
Objective: The aim of our prospective observational study was to describe the characteristics of NFPH in neonates born in a referral hospital in Buenos Aires.
Results: One hundred patients were included. Most of them were male (60%). NFPH consists of hard, filiform elements, mostly present bilaterally in lateral nail folds. It was found in 46% of included patients. Prevalence was higher in the right hand. Due to a trend towards easy detachment and fracture, erosions were seen in several cases. Two cases of acute paronychia secondary to NFPH were diagnosed, with favorable outcomes after topical antibiotic treatment.
Conclusion: The importance of clinical examination for screening of this local predisposing factor for infection in neonatal patients is highlighted.

Novel missense mutation of the TP63 gene in a newborn with Hay-Wells/Ankyloblepharon-Ectodermal defects-Cleft lip/palate (AEC) syndrome: clinical report and follow-up.

Introduction: Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate (AEC) syndrome, also known as Hay-Wells syndrome, is a rare genetic syndrome with ectodermal dysplasia. About 100 patients have been reported to date. It is associated to a heterozygous mutation of the tumor protein p63 (TP63) gene, located on chromosome 3q28.

Bartsocas-Papas syndrome (BPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by popliteal pterygia, syndactyly, ankyloblepharon, filiform bands between the jaws, cleft lip and palate, and genital malformations. Most of the BPS cases reported to date are fatal either in the prenatal or neonatal period. Causative genetic defects of BPS were mapped on the RIPK4 gene encoding receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 4, which is critical for epidermal differentiation and development.

BACKGROUND Black hairy tongue is a self-limiting, usually asymptomatic, benign lesion that most often affects men and people aged over 30-40 years. The lesion is extremely rare among newborns and infants. Lingua villosa nigra is characterized by the presence of elongated filiform papillae of the dorsum of the tongue, which gives a hairy appearance.

Taste bud cells arise from local epithelial stem cells in the oral cavity and are continuously replaced by newborn cells throughout an animal's life. However, little is known about the molecular and cellular mechanisms of taste cell turnover. Recently, it has been demonstrated that SOX2, a transcription factor expressed in epithelial stem/progenitor cells of the oral cavity, regulates turnover of anterior tongue epithelium including gustatory and non-gustatory papillae.
