The keratoderma hereditarium mutilans is a very rare genodermatosis ( congenital disease ) the main features massive hyperkeratosis (hyperkeratosis) on the palms and soles, mutilations and (not always) hearing loss to deafness .
Synonyms are: Vohwinkel syndrome; Palmoplantar hyperkeratosis type mutilans Vohwinkel; PPK mutilans; Nockemann syndrome; Latin Keratosis palmoplantaris mutilans; Keratosis palmoplantaris mutilans Vohwinkel; Keratoma hereditaria mutilans; Keratodermia palmo-plantaris mutilans Vohwinkel ; english mutilating keratoderma
The name refers to the author of the first description from 1929 by the German dermatologist Karl Hermann Vohwinkel and from 1961 by the German surgeon P. F. Nockemann .
distribution
The frequency is unknown; approximately 50 patients have been reported to date. The inheritance is autosomal dominant .
Causes and classification
Two forms can be distinguished:
- Classic shape
The disease are mutations in GJB2 - gene in chromosome 13 locus q12.11 based coding for connexin -26, a membrane protein coded. Mutations in this gene are also responsible for the keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome and the palmoplantar keratosis-deafness syndrome (PPK deafness syndrome).
- variant
There is no hearing loss here, but there is ichthyosis ; the mutation affects the LOR gene in chromosome 1 gene location q21, which codes for loricrin.
Mutations in this gene can also be found in erythrokeratodermia progressiva symmetrica .
Clinical manifestations
Clinical criteria are:
- Illness in early childhood
- Slow development of a diffuse palmo-plantar hyperkeratosis with hyperhidrosis , symmetrical arrangement and dimple-like depressions
- Reaching over to the hand, back of the foot, elbow and knee
- focal hyperkeratoses at stress points
- Over the years development of painless keratotic pores through to spontaneous amputations
- Inner ear hearing loss with secondary speech impairment
therapy
The treatment is directed against the cornification and formation of laces with systemic administration of retinoids such as acitretin and local treatment.
