Chapter 16-Derm Dz 1 Flashcards
Group of inherited disorders defined by the failure to develop 2 or more ectodermally derived anatomic structures
Ectodermal dysplasia
Ectodermal dysplasia prevalence
7:10,000
The most well known ectodermal dysplasia syndrome is _____ _____? also….whats the inheritance pattern? molecular alteration?
Hypohidrotic ectodermal syndrome
Xlinked
Xq12-q13.1
What is the term for the theory that females have a lesser phenotype (in hypohidrotic ectodermal syndrome) because half of the X chromosomes express the normal gene
Lyon hypotheses
What are 5 clinical features of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia?
- Heat intolerance due to reduced eccrine glands
- Fine sparse hair, fine wrinkling and hyperpigmentation around the eyes
3.Midface hypoplasia → protuberant lip appearance
4.Hypoplastic or absent salivary glands
dystrophic/brittle nails - Teeth:
a)Oligo or hypodontia- reduced number of teeth
b) Incisor crowns: tapered or conical, pointed Molars: reduced in diameter
c)Rarely anodontia: no teeth
What are 2 alternate names for white sponge nevus?
- Cannon disease 2. familial white folded dysplasia
Inheritance pattern for white sponge nevus
autosomal dominant
Out of the 30 keratin filaments, which 2 proliferate in white sponge nevus?
keratin 4 and keratin 13 (in the spinous layer)
Most frequently affected site for WSN? When do the lesions appear?
buccal mucosa…birth or early childhood
What clinical terms are frequently used to describe the lesions of white sponge nevus
velvety or leathery
What is the pathognomonic histologic feature of WSN?
perinuclear condensation of keratin tonofilaments (superficial layers of the epithelium)
What type of test could you do to confirm WSN rather than a traditional biopsy
cytology with the papanicolaou method
Witkop-von sallmann syndrome is more commonly known as
hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis
HBID inheritance pattern
autosomal dominant
what very specific geographic area is hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis
north carolina (come on and raise up)
2 main features of HBID
- oral lesions that look like white sponge nevus and leukoedema
- thick opaque gelatinous plaques affecting the bulbar conjunctiva, plaques are more apparent seasonally, risk for blindness when the plaques are shedding
2 histologic buzz phrases of HBID
- dyskeratotic cells throughout the spinous layer of the epithelium (similar to darier disease)
- cell within a cell phenomenon: epithelial cells appears engulfed by adjacent epithelial cell
Pachyonychia (pack-e-o-nick-ia) congenita inheritance pattern and 2 alternate names (are you ready for this shit?)
autosomal dominant….1) Jadassohn-Lewandowsky (Type 1) 2) Jackson - Lawler (Type 2)
4 mutated keratins associated with pachyonychia congenita? Which gene mutation is most common for ORAL lesions?
keratin 6A, 6b, 16 or 17……keratin 6a (KRT6A)
Prevalence of pachyonychia congenita
5000-10,000 people in the world
Oral presentation in pachyonychia congenita
thickened white plaques involving the lateral margins and dorsal tongue
neonatal teeth occur in the majority of pachyonychia congenita patients with mutation in which keratin?
keratin 17 (only 1/3 of these patients have the white plaques seen predominantly in patients with mutation in 6a)
3 systemic findings in pachyonychia congenita
1) hyperkeratosis of the plantar and palmar surfaces, dramatically affects the nails
2) hyperhidrosis of palms and feet
3) punctuate papules of the skin
Gender predilection and inheritance pattern in dyskeratosis congenita
male X-linked…(some cases of AD or AR too, but rare)
mutation associated with dyskeratosis congenita? What enzyme is affected?
DKC1 gene- disrupts the normal maintenance of telomerase
