The following summary is from Orphanet , a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs. Orpha Number: 1366 Definition Autosomal recessive palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and congenital alopecia (PPK-CA) is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by congenital alopecia and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. It is usually associated with cataracts , progressive sclerodactyly and pseudo-ainhum. Epidemiology To date, autosomal recessive PPK-CA has been reported in two families (seven affected individuals). An additional sporadic patient was likely affected by the same condition. Clinical description Similarly to the dominant variant, autosomal recessive PPK-CA usually presents during infancy. Its very early onset is often characterized by fading of facial, scalp and body hair within the first months of life without subsequent re-growth. Body and facial keratosis pilaris are additional features which appear in the following years. Skin thickening of palms and soles develops during infancy and may have an unusual pattern affecting the two sides of fingers and palms, but usually sparing the palmar surfaces. Periungueal involvement is typical and leads to secondary nail dystrophy. Autosomal recessive PPK-CA shows a relatively more severe evolution compared to the dominant variant as many patients develop sclerodactyly, small joint contractures and pseudo-ainhum. The original family also had congenital cataract. Etiology The genetic basis of autosomal recessive PPK-CA is unknown. Genetic counseling Transmission appears to be autosomal recessive.

MalaCards based summary : Palmoplantar Keratoderma and Congenital Alopecia 2, also known as cataract-alopecia-sclerodactyly syndrome, is related to bile duct cancer and pancreatic cancer, and has symptoms including dry skin An important gene associated with Palmoplantar Keratoderma and Congenital Alopecia 2 is DCAF8 (DDB1 And CUL4 Associated Factor 8), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Terpenoid backbone biosynthesis and cholesterol biosynthesis III (via desmosterol). The drug Vaccines has been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, eye and bone, and related phenotypes are cataract and joint stiffness Disease Ontology : 12 An ectodermal dysplasia characterized by autosomal recessive inheritance of alopecia, progressive palmoplantar hyperkeratosis resulting in sclerodactyly and usually associated with cataracts and pseudoainhum formation. OMIM : 56 Palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia-2 (PPKCA2) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital alopecia and progressive hyperkeratosis resulting in sclerodactyly, severe contractures and tapering of the digits, and pseudoainhum formation. Nail changes occur in some patients (Castori et al., 2010). Also see PPKCA1 (104100), a less severe, autosomal dominant disorder. (212360) |
