Description : Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare genodermatosis associated with a high
risk of skin cancer (Ramoz et al., 2000). EV results from an abnormal susceptibility
to specific related human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes and to the oncogenic potential
of some of them, mainly HPV5. Infection with EV-associated HPV leads to the early
development of disseminated flat wart-like and pityriasis versicolor-like lesions.
Patients are unable to reject their lesions, and cutaneous Bowen carcinomas in situ
and invasive squamous cell carcinomas develop in about half of them, mainly on sun-exposed
areas.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the transmembrane channel-like 6 gene (TMC6, 605828.0001): Caused
by mutation in the transmembrane channel-like 8 gene (TMC8, 605829.0001);
