PMLE patients have a reduced tendency to develop skin cancers because
lesser degree of cutaneous immunosuppression following UVR exposure (compared to normal individuals) likely results in a persistent ability to mount a DTH response against UVR-altered endogenous cutaneous molecules
PMLE never have systemic symptoms
General malaise, headache, fever, nausea and other symptoms rarely occur.
a form of PMLE referred to as juvenile spring eruption affects
helices of the ears
In darkly pigmented individuals, the most common morphology of PMLE is
grouped, pinhead-sized papules in sun-exposed areas
treatment modalities PMLE
hardening NB-UVB, PUVA,prednisone azathioprine or cyclosporine.
efficacy of antimalarials for PMLE
inconsistent in controlled trials
Cellular photoreceptors that mediate the signaling that leads to UV-induced immune responses are:
- DNA (via formation of DNA damage [DNA photoproducts])
- urocanic acid in the stratum corneum (via UV-induced isomerization from the trans- to the cis-isoform),
- membrane lipids
actinic prurigo strong HLA association
HLA-DR4 (DRB10401) and subtype DRB10407
pathogenesis HV
chronic EBV infection
which photodermatoses: Most commonly, visible light, with extension into UVA, UVB sensitivity less common
solar urticaria
what topical vehicle has been successful in decreasing the development of actinic keratoses and BCCs?
bacterial DNA repair enzyme T4 endonuclease V (T4N5)
which XP gene also associated with trichothiodystrophy
mutations in the XPB and XPD genes
XP variant, which has normal NER, is due to mutations in which gene
DNA polymerase-η

which XP group in which deafness, seizures most common
groups A and D
solar lentigines, skin cancers, pigmentary retinal degeneration, basal ganglion calcification
XP–Cockayne syndrome complex have also been reported (with mutations in XPB, XPD or XPG),
how does pathogenesis of cockayne differ from XP?
defective transcription-coupled NER (TC-NER)
cockayne syndrome - carcinogenesis T/F
F
CS-A due to mutations in
ERCC8 (also known as CSA)
CS-B due to mutations in
ERCC6 (also known as CSB);
which CS subset longest lifespan?
CS type I: 80% of patients; onset at 2 years of age, progressive; life expectancy: second to third decades
which CS subroup late onset, normal growth and development
CS type III:
