Genodermatoses - metabolic and ichthyoses Flashcards
Darier Disease autosomal dominant
True
Darier Disease gene mutation?
Autosomal dominant missense mutation in ATP2A2
- mutation in calcium signalling , ATP2A2 encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ ATPase pump, SERCA2
What is the typical age of onset of Darier disease
6-20y, adolescence. Peak onset puberty 11-15y
Darier Disease papules are limited to perifollicular location
False
Darier disease can develop sterile vesicles and bullae
True
Oral manifestations of darier disease
Cobblestone mucosa
Painless whitish papules or rugose plaques in 15-50%
Hard palate most common site of involvement, followed by gingiva, buccal mucosa and tongue
Darier disease is associated with increased malignancy
True - rarely related to oncogenes types of HPV or changes in keratinocytes adhesion/proliferation. SCC of skin and upper GIT in mouse models
List less common presentations of darier disease
Guttate hypopigmentation Vesiculobullous lesions Acral haemorrhagic lesions Keratoderma (spiked) Comedones, facial cysts, acne, conglobata Periocular nodulocystic lesions Alopecia, cutis verticis gyrata
Gluteal cleft is frequently involved in darier disease
False - uncommonly although other intergtriginous sites are involved
Extracutaneous manifestations of darier disease
Ocular - corneal ulcerations and staph end-ophthalmitis
Salivary gland obstruction
Infections - bacteria, viral, yeast, fungal
Neuro - epilepsy, intellectual impairment, and mood disorders have been reported in association with darier disease
Histopathology of darier disease
Acantholysis due to disturbance in cell adhesion leading to suprabasilar cleft formation
- two types of dyskeratotic cells : corp ronds (acantholytic enlarged keratinocytes with partially fragmentednuclei surrounded by clear cytoplasm encircled by bright ring of collapsed keratin bundles)
& grains (shrunken parakeratotic nuclear remnants)
Clinical subtypes of darier disease
- Acral haemorrhagic type
- Segmental types 1 and 2
—> two types with distribution along lines of Blaschko
—> more common is type 1 mosaicism (post zygotic. If have mutant cells in gonads, pt can have offspring with generalised darier). Type 2 segmental May have generalised Diarer with linear streaks of incr severity.
Hailey hailey genetic mutation
ATP2C1 —> autosomal dominant
Usual time of onset of Hailey Hailey disease
2nd or 3rd decade
Nail features of hailey hailey
Longitudinal leukonychia
Oral manifestations of hailey hailey
Painless oral EROSIONS , buccal, and also vaginal or conjunctival involvement
Histology of hailey hailey
Loss of intercellular adhesions , larger areas of dyscohesion with single or groups of acantholytic cells are seen which have been likened to a delapidated brick wall
- dermal papillae are lined by single layer of basal cells and protrude into blister cavities —> “villi”
Clinical subtypes of hailey hailey
Segmental type 1 —> caused by heterozygous post zygotic mutation in otherwise normal embryo , resulting in mosaic distribution of disease with age of onset and severity similar to non mosaic phenotype
Segmental type 2 —> earlier age of onset caused by post zygotic mutation also leading to a more severe disease in mosaic pattern
FABRY disease mutation
X-linked lysosomal storage disorder
Due to defect in GLA (encodes a-galactosidase A)
FABRY disease features
F - funny feelings (acral pain - painful crises -and paraesthesia), coarse Facies
A - angiokeratomas, abdo pain
B - breathing difficulties, cough and dyspnoea
R - renal impairment , retinal vascular abnormalities, corneal opacities
Y - hypohYdrosis, developmental delaY
Facial features of FABRY
Periorbital fullness, bushy eyebrows, buccal and conjunctival teles, thick lips, prognathism , prominent earlobes
Fucosidosis is associated with multiple angiokeratomas of skin and oral mucosa
True
Fucosidosis differs from FABRY in which regard?
Fucosidosis exhibits neuro developmental delay, sinopulmonary infections, organomegaly and incr sweat chloride test
Features of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia
Sparse of absent hair Missing or peg or conical teeth Decreased sweat capacity Hypothermia can be fatal in first few years of life Periorbital wrinkling or darkening Raspy or hoarse voice Sebaceous hyperplasia on the face clinically resembles milia Nails usually NORMAL
