ABSTRACT
Erythrokeratodermia variabilis (EKV) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by well-demarcated erythematous patches and hyperkeratotic plaques. EKV is most often transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner. Until recently, only mutations in connexins such as GJB3 (connexin 31), GJB4 (connexin 30.3), and occasionally GJA1 (connexin 43) were known to cause EKV. In recent years, mutations in other genes have been described as rare causes of EKV, including the genes KDSR, KRT83, and TRPM4. Features of the EKV phenotype can also appear with other genodermatoses for example, in Netherton syndrome, which hampers correct diagnosis. However, in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), an EKV phenotype has rarely been described. Here, we report on seven patients who clinically show a clear EKV phenotype, but in whom molecular genetic analysis revealed biallelic mutations in ABCA12, which is why the patients are classified in the ARCI group. Our study indicates that ARCI should be considered as a differential diagnosis in EKV.
