Abstract
Porokeratosis comprises a diverse range of both hereditary and acquired disorders characterized by clonal hyperproliferation of keratinocytes. These disorders manifest with a variety of clinical presentations but are histologically unified by the presence of the cornoid lamella. In this study, we report an unusual presentation of a rare clinical variant of porokeratosis, namely disseminated superficial porokeratosis, in which mutations in the Mevalonate decarboxylase (MVD) gene have been identified. This finding contributes to the growing understanding of the genetic underpinnings of this complex dermatological condition and may have implications for diagnosis and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
