HistoryThis section has been translated automatically.

Brünauer, 1923; Fuchs, 1924; Wachters, 1963

DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Autosomal dominant palmoplantar keratosis. Originally an island-like (Siemens) and a striate form (Brünauer-Fuchs) was described. Wachters was able to detect both types in one family.

EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.

Mutations in the desmoglein 1 gene (DSG1). The gene mutations lead to a disruption of desmoglein. Strict palmoplantar keratoses also occur with mutations in the desmoplakin gene and occasionally in the KRT1 gene (keratin1 gene).

ManifestationThis section has been translated automatically.

15 to 30 years of age.

Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.

Striate, islet or diffuse-membranous keratoses depending on the physical load. Remaining in areas of low stress, possible spread to the sides of the fingers and toes, rarely affecting the knees, elbows, back of the fingers. No association with further symptoms.

HistologyThis section has been translated automatically.

Conspicuous hyperkeratosis with suprabasal loosening with rounding of the keratinocytes.

TherapyThis section has been translated automatically.

Externally corresponding to keratosis palmoplantaris diffusa circumscripta, good response to systemic retinoids.
