Several autoantibodies have been detected in serum of PAMS patients, including anti-plakins, anti-alpha-2-macroglobulin like 1, and anti-desmogleins autoantibodies. The mortality rate of PAMS is up to 50%. This is due on the one hand to the poor response to treatments and on the other hand to the delay in the diagnosis and to the prognosis of the underlying neoplasia.","PeriodicalId":49071,"journal":{"name":"Giornale Italiano Di Dermatologia E Venereologia","volume":"4 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78486077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean age at onset was 6.86±3.21 years, mainly between 2 and 8 years, but is statistically significantly lower for ECDS (4.5±3.03). Localizations were: head/neck (30.4%), limbs (26.1%), trunk (14.5%), 2 or more sites (29%), most often the trunk plus limbs.

More than 50 keratinocyte proteins, including adhesion molecules, receptors and enzymes as well as mitochondrial proteins can be targeted, leading to alterations in numerous intracellular signaling pathways. Patients with pemphigus herpetiformis feature various combinations of antibodies to desmogleins 1 and 3 and desmocollins 1-3. Pemphigus vulgaris patients who do not have antibodies to desmogleins develop typical clinical and histological features of pemphigus. Experimental results revealed synergy of different autoantibodies. Alterations of the keratinocyte adhesive function caused by a single antibody alone are reversible due to self-repair. Since composition of the pool of the most common pathogenic antibodies appears to be similar among pemphigus patients with or without antidesmoglein antibodies, the atypical pemphigus represents a unique model for elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of autoimmunity against non-desmoglein antigens. Further studies of the immunopathology of atypical pemphigus should shed new lights on the pathophysiology of conventional variants of autoimmune pemphigus.","PeriodicalId":49071,"journal":{"name":"Giornale Italiano Di Dermatologia E Venereologia","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74569884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
