Palmoplantar keratoderma and erythrokeratodermas
Gene: DSG2
Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Green to Red: The desmosomal gene DSG2 was originally included as a Green gene on the panel because the eligibility statement prior genetic testing listed "Striate keratoderma with woolly hair: cardiac panel including desmosomal genes". However, after discussion with the clinical team (Ellen Thomas and Helen Brittain), we agreed there is no strong link between the DSG2 gene and PPK phenotype. Note that other cardiac genes JUP, DSP, DSC2 and KANK2 have been implicated with the keratoderma and woolly hair phenotype, and have been rated accordingly.Created: 3 Apr 2017, 8:52 a.m.
