Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent developments in molecular genetics may lead to re-examination of the histopathology of inherited palmoplantar keratodermas (PPKs) based on more precise groupings of the various entities and syndromes. OBJECTIVE: We sought to characterize the histopathological findings in PPKs associated with mutations in DSG1, which encodes desmoglein 1. METHODS: We studied the histopathology of 3 cases of...
