Abstract:
Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK) is a diffuse, non-syndromic (isolated), autosomal recessive palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) with transgredients. It is characterized by non-progressive mild to moderate transgredient PPK. The mutation in SERPINB7 is reported to underlie the condition. Though many case reports/series have demonstrated various mutations in SERPINB7, the genotype-phenotype correlation in this disorder is still lacking. We herein report two brothers with NPPK. Both patients were found to be compound heterozygous for c.796C>T and c.650_653delCTGT in the SERPINB7 gene. We then summarize the previously reported cases of different mutations in SERPINB7 along with their clinical phenotypes in an attempt to shed some light on this correlation. Further investigations and systematic data collection are still needed to clarify this issue.

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

01:11Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
01:12Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
01:38Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
