Description : Striate palmoplantar keratoderma belongs to a group of skin diseases in which there
is thickening of the skin on the palms and soles. The striate form is characterized
by longitudinal hyperkeratotic lesions extending the length of each finger to the
palm, and hyperkeratotic lesions are restricted to regions of the body where pressure
and abrasion are greatest (summary by Hunt et al., 2001). Patients with diffuse or
focal forms of keratoderma associated with mutation in the DSG1 gene have also been
reported (Keren et al., 2005; Milingou et al., 2006). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Keratosis
Palmoplantaris Striata Type II PPKS (PPKS2; 612908) is caused by mutation in the DSP
gene (125647) on chromosome 6. Type III PPKS (PPKS3; 607654) is caused by mutation
in the keratin-1 gene (KRT1; 139350) on chromosome 12q. For a general phenotypic description
and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), see epidermolytic
PPK (144200).;
