Genoderm Flashcards
Other IP skin changes
Patchy alopecia of vertex scalp Atrophic changes of dorsal hands Onychodystrophy Subungual tumors with lytic bone lesions Palmerplantar hyperhidrosis
MC IP extracutaneous
Teeth (90%) > bones (40%) > CNS (33%)
MC CNS are seizures
Defective neutrophil chemotaxis reported
Eye changes- cataracts, strabismus, retinal detachment, optic atrophy, blue sclera, exudative chorioretinitis
Mutations in k14 (NFJ)
Cause increased susceptibility to TNF alpha induced apoptosis
Hypo of ito
Trisomy 13 mosaicism found
Klinefelter
Leg ulcers
Thrombophlebitis
Hypercoaguability from increased plasminogen activator 1
Incr risk of CA - breast, hematologist, rhabdiblastoma, retinoblastoma
XXYY
Cutaneous Angie as, acrocyanosis, stasis
Turner
Frontal alopecia Pilo Koilonychia Incr risk of melanoma Increases AA and halo nevi*
Noon an
PTPN11 encodes phosphatase SHP-2 in the RasMapk p’way
Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome
Hair is MC derm finding
May see kiolonychia
Associated with KRAS, BRAF, MAP2K1/2
TS
Up to 50% spontaneous
Avoid xrt as tx for astrocytomas bc incr risk of glioblastoma
NF
Sacral hypertricosis, cutis vertices, macroglossa, nipple NFs in 90% of women
Type 3 and 4 NF
Resemble type 2 with NFs but greater risk of optic gliomas, neurilemmomas, and meningiomas
Heralds severe CNS inv in NF
Hypertelorism
50% of NF due or new mutations
Merlin in NF2
Protein links actin cytoskeleton to cell surface glycoproteins and functions as a negative growth regulator
Legius
Spred1
Have pigmentary changes but NO NFs
NF1 vs NF2 imaging
Image for signs and symptoms in 1 but 2 requires MRI
83% of NF2 with vision loss, 75% with hearing loss
Angora hair Nevus syndrome
Schauder
Telangectasias in AT
Face, helix, back of ear, roof of mouth, necklace area, flexures, dorsal hands and feet
AT cells
Sensitive to ionizing radiation (but not UV) and at the G1/S checkpoint
Diagnosis of AT
Elevated AFP and radio sensitivity of fibroblasts
Heterozygous K14
Blistering limited to hands and feet
Ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome (Mcgrath)
Trauma induced blisters of pressure points
Reduced/small desmosomes in the lower epidermis
Plakophilin
