Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma: an unusual mutation causing an unusual phenotype

Abstract

Palmoplantar keratodermas (PPKs, OMIM #144200) refers to a large phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous group of keratinization disorders characterized by marked hyperkeratosis on the surface of palms and soles. Punctate PPK (PPKP) features multiple hyperkeratotic papules that develop in early adolescence or later and are irregularly distributed on the palms and soles. The disease is clinically classified into three autosomal dominant subtypes: PPKP1 (OMIM #148600, 614936) characterized by multiple tiny punctate keratoses and caused by mutations in the AAGAB or COL14A1 genes; PPKP2 (OMIM #175860) which features tiny hyperkeratotic spinous papules and PPKP3 or acrokeratoelastoidosis (AKE, OMIM # 101850) which manifests with small hyperkeratotic papules located over the peripheral margins of the palms and soles and is typically associated with degeneration of elastic fibers on histology. The molecular etiology of PPKP2 and AKE remains unknown.
