Objectives: Limited evidence is available about the content validity of the EQ-5D-5L in rare skin fragility disorders. Previous research has demonstrated that the skin irritation and self-confidence additional dimensions (bolt-ons) improve the content validity of the EQ-5D-5L in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Our aim was to investigate the content validity of the EQ-5D-5L and the two bolt-ons in Darier's disease and Hailey-Hailey disease.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

December 2024

Institute of Dermatology, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510095, People's Republic of China.

Darier's disease (DD) is a rare chronic keratinizing skin disease characterized by dyskeratosis of epidermal cells. We report a case of DD with a medical history spanning over 20 years and recurring symptoms. Pathologically confirmed DD was treated with a combination of abrocitinib and acitretin, resulting in rapid symptom resolution within 2 weeks.

Darier disease is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding for sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca ATPase isoform 2. The skin disease is characterized by a chronic relapsing course with recurrent reddish-brown keratotic papules and plaques located mainly in seborrhoeic areas. Due to chronic inflammation and epidermal barrier defects of the skin, patients often develop severe bacterial and viral superinfections.

October 2024

Dermatology, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, USA.

Darier's disease is characterized by pruritic keratotic papules resulting from dysfunctional keratinocyte adhesion. Segmental Darier's is a rare variant thought to be caused by a post-zygotic somatic mutation. The mainstay of treatment consists of oral and topical retinoids and corticosteroids.

Background: Darier's disease (DD) is a skin disorder caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene. Researchers have been investigating the correlation between genotype and phenotype in DD. Understanding the genotype-phenotype relationship in DD can enhance our comprehension of the genetic background and phenotypic characteristics of the condition, as well as the relationship between its systemic and localized manifestations.

Darier disease (DD) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by erythematous papules and plaques mainly involving sebaceous areas, such as the face, chest and back. Skin microbiome plays an essential role in maintaining skin homeostasis. A disturbed skin microbiome may contribute to the exacerbation of DD.

Article Synopsis
  • Grover disease is a skin condition characterized by blistering caused by the breakdown of connections between skin cells, with its causes still unknown and no FDA-approved treatment available.
  • Research has shown that B-RAF inhibitors used in cancer treatment can paradoxically lead to Grover disease by causing hyperactivation of ERK, which disrupts skin cell cohesion.
  • The study suggests that inhibiting MEK can prevent the onset of Grover disease by controlling ERK activation, indicating a potential therapeutic approach that could benefit both Grover disease and similar genetic conditions like Darier disease.

Folliculocentric tinea versicolor: a case report.

J Med Case Rep

September 2024

Department of Dermatology, Wuhan No. 1 Hospital, Wuhan, 430022, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Tinea versicolor is a common skin condition, and this report focuses on a unique follicular form observed in a patient with a past of keratosis pilaris.
  • A 46-year-old Asian woman presented with light brown patches on her trunk and axillae, which were diagnosed as folliculocentric tinea versicolor through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.
  • The case suggests a potential link between previous keratosis pilaris and the development of follicular tinea versicolor, although the exact causes of this form remain uncertain.

Article Synopsis
  • Darier disease and Hailey-Hailey disease are rare skin conditions that can make life tough for people who have them, and there are no effective long-term treatments available right now.
  • Doctors often use oral and topical retinoids to help manage symptoms, but these can have bad side effects that make it hard for patients to stick with treatment.
  • A study looked into a new treatment called photodynamic therapy (PDT), which showed promise in helping with symptoms, but more research is needed to fully understand its benefits, costs, and safety for everyone.

Article Synopsis
  • * Genetic forms of these disorders, like Darier and Hailey-Hailey diseases, stem from mutations affecting calcium pumps but lack a clear connection between these mutations and the breakdown of cell adhesion.
  • * The article reviews existing knowledge about these conditions and emphasizes research gaps, aiming to stimulate investigations that could lead to new treatments for affected patients suffering from chronic skin issues.

Article Synopsis
  • Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common and harmless skin condition causing small bumps and redness, affecting people's appearance and mental health.
  • A clinical trial tested a non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment for KP, where injections were given in four sessions over 24 weeks, and both doctors and patients evaluated the results.
  • Results showed significant improvements in skin roughness and redness for treated areas, with many patients reporting sustained benefits, indicating the HA treatment is effective and safe for managing KP.

September 2024

Dermatology and Venereology Division, Department of Medicine (Solna), Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.

Article Synopsis
  • - Darier disease (DD) is a rare skin disorder caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene, which is essential for maintaining calcium balance in cells.
  • - Current research has shown that dantrolene sodium (Dl), a drug that typically treats other conditions, can increase calcium levels in the endoplasmic reticulum and improve cell adhesion in DD cells.
  • - The study indicates that Dl could help alleviate key issues related to DD by reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress and preventing cell death, suggesting it might be a viable treatment option for the disease.

Treatment of Darier Disease with Radiation Therapy: Case Report and Literature Review.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

July 2024

Department of Dermatology, Hospital for Skin Diseases, Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, 250022, People's Republic of China.

Article Synopsis
  • Darier's disease (DD) is a genetic skin condition marked by hard, scaly bumps with no effective cure, leaving only symptom-targeting treatments available.
  • A case study showed that low-dose superficial X-ray radiotherapy (SRT) significantly improved a severe case of DD that didn’t respond to regular medications.
  • The use of low-dose radiation may be a safer initial option for treating stubborn DD, but if stronger doses are needed, careful assessment of the risks, including potential radiation-related cancer, should be discussed with patients.
