    Inherited Nonsyndromic Ichthyoses: An Update on Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Treatment.
    Am J Clin Dermatol 2018 Feb;19(1):51-66
    Department of Medical Sciences, Dermatology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
    Hereditary ichthyoses are due to mutations on one or both alleles of more than 30 different genes, mainly expressed in the upper epidermis. Syndromic as well as nonsyndromic forms of ichthyosis exist. Irrespective of etiology, virtually all types of ichthyosis exhibit a defective epidermal barrier that constitutes the driving force for hyperkeratosis, skin scaling, and inflammation. Read More

    Epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) is a rare disorder of cornification caused by mutations in KRT1 and KRT10, encoding two suprabasal epidermal keratins. Because of the variable clinical features and severity of the disease, histopathology is often required to correctly direct the molecular analysis. EI is characterized by hyperkeratosis and vacuolar degeneration of the upper epidermis, also known as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, hence the name of the disease. Read More

    Background: Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis presents a particular histological image common to several clinical pictures, including that of keratinopathic ichthyoses. It may also occur fortuitously in various tumoral and inflammatory lesions. It is the elementary histopathological lesion of epidermolytic acanthoma, which may either be single or multiple, and when it occurs in the genital area, is known as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis of the genitalia or multiple epidermolytic acanthoma of the genitalia.

    Superficial Epidermolytic Ichthyosis-Hypertrichosis as a Clue to Diagnosis.
    Pediatr Dermatol 2016 Nov 7;33(6):e346-e348. Epub 2016 Sep 7.
    Dermatology Department, Coimbra University Hospital, Coimbra, Portugal.
    Superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis (SEI) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the keratin 2 gene and clinically characterized by mild hyperkeratosis, superficial blisters and shedding, referred to as the moulting phenomenon. We report a case of SEI in an 18-month-old girl presenting with marked hypertrichosis. Although not invariably present, we believe that hypertrichosis can be an important clue for diagnosis.

    iRhom2 (Uncv) mutation blocks bulge stem cells assuming the fate of hair follicle.
    Arch Dermatol Res 2016 Sep 8;308(7):503-10. Epub 2016 Jul 8.
    Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine, 27 Taiping Road, Haidian, Beijing, 100850, People's Republic of China.
    iRhom2 is necessary for maturation of TNFα-converting enzyme, which is required for the release of tumor necrosis factor. In the previous study, we found that the iRhom2 (Uncv) mutation in N-terminal cytoplasmic domain-encoding region (iRhom2 (Uncv) ) leads to aberrant hair shaft and inner root sheath differentiation, thus results in a hairless phenotype in homozygous iRhom2 (Uncv/Uncv) BALB/c mice. In this study, we found iRhom2 mutation decreased hair matrix proliferation, however, iRhom2 (Uncv/Uncv) mice displayed hyperproliferation and hyperkeratosis in the interfollicular epidermis along with hypertrophy in the sebaceous glands.

    Department of Dermatology, Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center, Lackland AFB, TX, USA.
    Frozen section is a valuable tool that is often underutilized in the setting of in-patient dermatology. Traditionally, frozen section has been used in dermatology to diagnose toxic epidermal necrolysis, with some additional utility in staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in the new born period. We report a newborn female with ruptured bullae on the face, chest, back and extremities with a clinical differential diagnosis that included staphylococcal scalded skin, bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma/epidermolytic hyperkeratosis and epidermolysis bullosa.

    Management of Epidermolytic Ichthyosis in the Newborn.
    Neonatal Netw 2016 ;35(1):19-28
    Epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis that presents at birth as a bullous disease, followed by a lifelong ichthyotic skin disorder. Essentially, it is a defective keratinization caused by mutations of keratin 1 (KRT1) or keratin 10 (KRT10) genes, which lead to skin fragility, blistering, and eventually hyperkeratosis. Successful management of EI in the newborn period can be achieved through a thoughtful, directed, and interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approach that encompasses family support. Read More

    The term epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, used synonymously for bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma, is in fact a histopathologic reaction pattern. Clinically, it may present as a generalized, localized, or palmoplantar variant. Generalized epidermolytic hyperkeratosis is a genetic disorder, while localized epidermolytic hyperkeratosis occurs sporadically as a result of mosaicism. Read More

    Acta Derm Venereol 2016 May;96(4):473-8
    Institute of Human Genetics, , University Medical Center Freiburg,, Freiburg, Germany.
    Twenty-six families with keratinopathic ichthyoses (epidermolytic ichthyosis, superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis or congenital reticular ichthyosiform erythroderma) were studied. Epidermolytic ichthyosis is caused by mutations in the genes KRT1 or KRT10, mutations in the gene KRT2 lead to superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis, and congenital reticular ichthyosiform erythroderma is caused by frameshift mutations in the genes KRT10 or KRT1, which lead to the phenomenon of revertant mosaicism. In this study mutations were found in KRT1, KRT2 and KRT10, including 8 mutations that are novel pathogenic variants. Read More

    BMJ Case Rep 2015 Oct 22;2015. Epub 2015 Oct 22.
    Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus N, Denmark.
    During recent years, inborn errors of human IL-17 immunity have been demonstrated to underlie primary immunodeficiencies with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). Various defects in receptors responsible for sensing of Candida albicans or downstream signalling to IL-17 may lead to susceptibility to Candida infection. While CMC is common in patients with profound T cell immunodeficiencies, CMC is also recognised as part of other immunodeficiencies in syndromic CMC, or as relatively isolated CMC disease. Read More

    Division of Dermatology, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Que., Canada.
    Background: Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare autosomal dominant disease whose main clinical features include hypertrophic onychodystrophy and palmoplantar keratoderma. The new classification is based on genetic variants with mutations in keratin KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT6C, KRT16, KRT17, and an unknown mutation.

    Epidermolytic ichthyosis (or epidermolytic hyperkeratosis) classically presents with erythroderma and increased fragility (blistering) at birth or soon thereafter. In later life, erythroderma and blistering improve gradually and the clinical picture is dominated by hyperkeratotic plaques in flexures and around joints. Linear epidermolytic hyperkeratosis is a unique, uncommon clinical variant and the absence of erythroderma and blistering are its hallmark. Read More
