The patients were seen at the genetic department of Bichat University Hospital for molecular screening. The patients' clinical and paraclinical data were collected and analysed according to Evans' diagnostic criteria and were compared with molecular information.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 110 probands, only 56% fulfilled Evans' diagnostic criteria. Overall, 75% of the patients who fulfilled those criteria carried a pathogenic variation in PTCH1 or SUFU. We compared the clinical and paraclinical data of 54 probands carrying a PTCH1 or SUFU mutation with 56 probands without identified mutations. Among patients carrying a pathogenic variation in the PTCH1 or SUFU genes, 30 years appears to be the cut-off age after which all patients have clear clinical GS. Indeed, after age 30 years, all patients carrying a PTCH1 or SUFU mutation fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of Evans (82% met the clinical criteria, reaching 100% with complementary examinations such as X-rays and ultrasound). Before 30 years of age, only 37% of patients with mutated genes fulfilled the clinical diagnostic criteria, reaching only 62% with simple complementary exams.

After age 30 years, careful clinical examination and complementary radiological exams should be enough to eliminate the diagnosis of GS among patients who do not fulfil the diagnostic criteria.</p>","PeriodicalId":10324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"380-386"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141070673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dermatology, known for its visual nature, benefits from AI, especially in dermatopathology with digitized slides. This review explores AI's role, challenges, opportunities and future potential in enhancing dermatopathological diagnosis and care. Adhering to PRISMA and Cochrane Handbook standards, this systematic review explored AI's function in dermatopathology. It employed an interdisciplinary method, encompassing diverse study types and comprehensive database searches. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed articles from 2000 to 2023, with a focus on practical AI use in dermatopathology. Numerous studies have investigated AI's potential in dermatopathology. We reviewed 112 papers. Notable applications include AI classifying histopathological images of naevi and melanomas, although challenges exist regarding subtype differentiation and generalizability. AI achieved high accuracy in melanoma recognition from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples but faced limitations due to small datasets. Deep learning algorithms showed diagnostic accuracy for specific skin conditions, but challenges persisted, such as small sample sizes and the need for prospective validation. This systematic review underscores AI's potential in enhancing dermatopathology for better diagnosis and patient care. Addressing challenges like limited datasets and potential biases is essential. Future directions involve expanding datasets, conducting validation studies, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and creating patient-centred AI tools in dermatopathology to enhance accuracy, accessibility and patient-focused care.</p>","PeriodicalId":10324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"251-259"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142125007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The management of FD is very challenging, as relapses are frequent and prolonged use of combined antibiotics is often required.
