epidermolytic hyperkeratosis
- epidermolytic hyperkeratosis
- an autosomal dominant disorder of keratinization caused by mutation in the keratin genes KRT1 (locus: 12q13) and KRT10 (locus: 17q21-q22), resulting in structural defects in tonofibrils. It is present at birth and characterized by generalized erythroderma and severe hyperkeratosis. There are small, hard, verrucous scales over the entire body, especially in flexural areas, including the creases on the palms and soles. Recurrent bullae, primarily on the lower limbs, are characteristic in infancy and childhood. See also ichthyosis hystrix.
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Compact orthokeratosis overlies an epidermis showing granular and vacuolar changes in its upper layers.
