A Novel Mutation and Large Size Polymorphism Affecting the V2 Domain of Keratin 1 in an African-American Family with Severe, Diffuse Palmoplantar Keratoderma of the Ichthyosis Hystrix Curth–Macklin Type [PDF]
Keratin gene mutations affecting nonhelical head and tail domains are not usually associated with prominent skin blistering and keratin filament clumping. Instead, they have been associated with several distinct clinical phenotypes, such as epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation (mutation P25L in the V1 domain of keratin 5 ...

Genetic Analysis of KRT9 Gene Revealed Previously Known Mutations and Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Epidermolytic Palmoplantar Keratoderma [PDF]
Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK, OMIM 144200) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, clinically characterized by diffuse yellowish thickening of the skin on the palms and soles, usually with erythematous borders developing during the ...

Palmoplantar keratoderma, pseudo-ainhum and knuckle pads in an African patient: A case report
Hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma is a rare heterogenous group of genodermatoses characterised by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles. Genetic alterations affecting proteins of the keratin cytoskeleton, cornified cell envelope, desmosomes and gap ...

Diffuse epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (Unna-Thost-) [PDF]
We report the case of a 28-year-old man presenting to our hospital with refractory diffuse hyperkeratosis of palms and soles. He reported first appearance in early childhood. His first-born daughter also developed hyperkeratosis on palms and soles directly after birth. No other family member seems to be affected by similar skin lesions.

Unique autosomal recessive variant of palmoplantar keratoderma associated with hearing loss not caused by known mutations [PDF]
Inherited Palmoplantar Keratodermas are rare disorders of genodermatosis that are conventionally regarded as autosomal dominant in inheritance with extensive clinical and genetic heterogeneity.

Naturally occurring AQP5 mutations in rats and humans and their affected phenotypes [PDF]
Thirteen members of aquaporin (AQP), a water channel, are expressed in mammals. In this review, we briefly overview these mammalian AQPs, then focus on AQP5, an exocrine gland-type AQP.
