Clouston Syndrome Can Mimic Pachyonychia Congenita [PDF]
We studied three families suffering from nail abnormalities who had previously been diagnosed as pachyonychia congenita. No keratin gene mutations were detected. Sequencing of connexin 30 (GJB6 gene) in these patients identified heterozygous missense mutations G11R and A88V that are known to be associated with Clouston syndrome. This unexpected finding

A Novel Connexin 30 Mutation in Clouston Syndrome [PDF]
Clouston syndrome (hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia) is an autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia characterized by alopecia, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, and nail dystrophy. Recently, mutations in the GJB6 gene encoding the gap junction protein connexin 30 have been shown to cause this disorder.

A Phenotype Resembling the Clouston Syndrome with Deafness Is Associated with a Novel Missense GJB2 Mutation [PDF]
Mutations in GJB2 (connexin26) are associated with skin disorders and deafness. The Clouston syndrome (MIM129500) is associated with mutations in GJB6 (connexin30). Here, we describe a patient suffering from a Clouston-syndrome-like phenotype of thin hair, deafness, nail dystrophy, and mild erythrokeratoderma, caused by a novel spontaneous missense ...

Immune system disturbances in Clouston syndrome [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundClouston syndrome belongs to the family of ectodermal dysplasias. So far, a defective immune response has not been reported in Clouston syndrome. We report, for the first time, immunological particularities of a large multigenerational Polish family with Clouston syndrome.MethodsFive members of the same family with Clouston syndrome ...

GJB6 missense variant in a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis. [PDF]
Abstract Palmoplantar keratoderma in humans is a condition defined by an abnormally thickened cornified skin layer on the hands and feet. In animals, the corresponding disease is commonly termed paw pad hyperkeratosis. It can be acquired due to repeated trauma, infections, cancer, or inflammatory dermatoses, or inherited due to pathogenic variants in ...

Myeloid HDAC7 drives liver inflammation and systemic glucose dysregulation during diet-induced obesity. [PDF]
This study explored the role of the class IIa histone deacetylase HDAC7 in hepatic inflammation and metabolic disease. Genetic approaches in mice revealed that myeloid HDAC7 drives hepatic inflammation and gene signatures associated with advanced chronic liver disease.

Oral rehabilitation of a patient with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Clouston syndrome)
BACKGROUND: Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic condition affecting the development and homeostasis of two or more ectodermal structures, including hairs, teeth, nails, and some glandular organs. The prevalence is 1.621.9 per 100000. The teeth are affected in 79% of cases.
