Acne inversa, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with high penetrance, as evidenced by familial occurrences. This finding clarifies the genetic basis of this follicular disorder.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Genetics

Context:

Acne inversa is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting hair follicles.
Its pathogenesis involves follicular hyperkeratosis, bacterial infection, and granulomatous inflammation.
Familial occurrences are rare but documented.

Purpose:

To investigate the inheritance pattern of acne inversa.
To analyze familial cases to understand the genetic basis.

Summary:

The study examined familial cases of acne inversa.
Findings indicate an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with high penetrance.
This suggests a strong genetic component in the development of acne inversa.

Impact:

Clarifies the genetic etiology of acne inversa.
