Update of recent findings in genetic hair disorders

Ryota Hayashi et al.

Summary: Genetic hair disorders are relatively common in East Asia, particularly in Japan, with many patients identified with various genetic causes. It is crucial for dermatologists to understand these disorders, as the findings can contribute to uncovering the mechanisms of hair follicle morphogenesis and development in humans.

KERATIN 17-related recessive atypical pachyonychia congenita with variable hair and tooth anomalies

Mine Koprulu et al.

Summary: This report describes the first case of pachyonychia congenita to involve all ectodermal derivatives and the first recessive KRT17-related PC, identified in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families. The atypical PC presents with a unique combination of symptoms including pachyonychia, plantar keratoderma, alopecia, sparse eyebrows, dental anomalies, acanthosis nigricans of neck, dry skin, palmoplantar hyperhidrosis, recurrent blisters, rough sparse hair, and keratosis pilaris. Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous KRT17 mutation in affected individuals, pointing to a recessive inheritance pattern. Additionally, heterozygous variants in KRT17 have been associated with a different phenotype, PC2, suggesting a need for caution in genetic testing and analysis.

Mutations in genes encoding desmosomal proteins: spectrum of cutaneous and extracutaneous abnormalities

J. Y. W. Lee et al.

Summary: Desmosomes are intercellular junctions found in various specialized cell types, playing a crucial role in cell adhesion, signaling, development, and differentiation. Mutations in genes encoding desmosomal proteins can lead to a spectrum of erosive skin and mucosal phenotypes, as well as hair or heart abnormalities. Understanding the diverse clinical phenotypes and desmosome gene mutations is important for managing and counseling patients effectively.

A role for keratin 17 during DNA damage response and tumor initiation

Raji R. Nair et al.

Summary: The high levels of the intermediate filament protein keratin 17 (K17) are associated with poor prognoses for several human carcinomas. Lack of K17 delays onset of tumorigenesis in mouse models and K17 impacts chromatin architecture, gene expression, and cell proliferation in the nucleus of tumor keratinocytes. The presence of nuclear-localized K17 is required for early stages of DNA damage and repair cascade, affecting cell survival and leading to poor clinical outcomes in human carcinomas.
