Article Synopsis
  • A 9-year-old boy was evaluated for skin issues, showing unusual pigmentation, hyperkeratosis on palms and soles, and nodules that suggested calcification on his elbows.
  • His blood tests indicated neutropenia, which was confirmed to be non-cyclical, and genetic testing identified a mutation in the USB1 gene, leading to a diagnosis of poikiloderma with neutropenia, Clericuzio type (PNC).
  • The case also noted new findings like obliterated dermatoglyphics and mucin deposition, which had not been previously reported in PNC.

Article Synopsis
  • Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR) is a rare skin disorder marked by a triad of symptoms: reticulate hyperpigmentation, non-scarring hair loss (alopecia), and nail abnormalities (onychodystrophy).
  • The first reported case from Syria showcases the classic features of DPR, adding unique symptoms like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and lack of fingerprints (adermatoglyphia).
  • This case is unique due to the location of the alopecia on the beard, a first-time report, and distinctive histopathological findings from a biopsy.

Indian Dermatol Online J

January 2016

Department of Dermatology, BJ Medical College, Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Article Synopsis
  • Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn Syndrome (NFJS) is a rare genetic condition that is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and is associated with ectodermal dysplasia due to mutations in the KRT14 gene.
  • A case study is presented involving a 27-year-old male diagnosed with NFJS, who exhibited various symptoms including reticulate hyperpigmentation on the skin, dental abnormalities, and the absence of dermatoglyphics (fingerprint patterns).
  • Other clinical features noted in this patient included hypohidrosis (reduced ability to sweat) and changes in hair texture or growth.

Article Synopsis
  • Naegeli(-Franceschetti-Jadassohn) syndrome and Dermatopathia Pigmentosa Reticularis are genetic disorders that cause skin discoloration, thickened skin on palms and soles, and other skin-related symptoms but differ in pigmentation and other traits.
  • * The text discusses two patients with growth issues, developmental delays, and skin symptoms similar to these syndromes, yet they have unique traits and no mutations linked to their conditions were found.
  • * Although there are similarities to Naegeli syndrome and related disorders, the patients exhibit enough differences suggesting they may represent a new, distinct condition.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study on families with these conditions identified mutations in the KRT14 gene, which are linked to these syndromes, specifically affecting its nonhelical domain, distinct from mutations causing other skin disorders.
  • * The findings indicate that KRT14 is crucial for developing skin features like fingerprints and sweat glands, and increased cell death (apoptosis) in skin cells may play a role in the disease's progression.

Genomic imprinting and dermatological disease.

Clin Exp Dermatol

September 2006

Department of Dermatology, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Norwich, UK.

Article Synopsis
  • Imprinting is an epigenetic process where certain genes are inherited from only one parent, affecting the resulting phenotype through mechanisms like DNA methylation.
  • Disrupted imprinted genes can lead to specific syndromes, such as Beckwith-Wiedemann and Prader-Willi, which showcase unique inheritance patterns and physical traits.
  • Additionally, imprinting may influence other conditions, potentially affecting the expression of diseases like neurofibromatosis and common ailments like eczema and psoriasis, which may follow maternal or paternal inheritance patterns.
