    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In 1901, Vörner described a diffuse keratoderma of palms and soles with autosomal dominant inheritance. Histopathologically, this disease has the typical features of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Clinical examination does not allow differentiation between keratoderma of the Vörner type and the keratoderma described by Thost in 1880 and Unna in 1883. Reexamination of the family originally seen by Thost revealed histopathological signs of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, confirming that keratoderma of the Vörner type is present in this family. The clinical features and variability of this palmoplantar keratoderma were demonstrated on the basis of an examination of 22 families (46 patients). In addition to diffuse hyperkeratosis of palms and soles with a sharp demarcation and erythematous margin, some less well-known features, such as knuckle pad-like keratoses on the finger joints and clubbing of the nails were observed. A genetic analysis of the pedigrees suggests that new mutations causing this disorder rarely occur. Point mutations in the keratin 9 gene, which has been mapped to chromosome 17q21, can be a cause of epidermolytic keratoderma of palms and soles. Five different keratin 9 gene mutations were identified. All these mutations are localized in the highly conserved coil 1A region of the rod domain, which is thought to be relevant for dimer formation in intermediate filaments.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Vörner stellte 1901 eine diffuse, autosomal-dominant erbliche Palmoplantarkeratose vor, die histologisch die charaktistischen Veränderungen der granulären Degeneration zeigt. Klinisch ist diese Genodermatose mit den von Thost 1880 und Unna 1883 beschriebenen Keratosen der Handflächen und Fußsohlen identisch. Bei einer Nachuntersuchung der von Thost beobachteten Familie wurde eine granuläre Degeneration gefunden und so die Identität dieser Erkrankung mit der von Vörner beschriebenen Keratose nachgewiesen. Anhand der Untersuchung von 22 Familien wird die typische klinische Symptomatik und Histologie und die familiäre Variabilität der Merkmale erörtert. Außer der charakteristischen diffusen Palmoplantarkeratose mit scharfer Begrenzung und rotem Randsaum wurden als bisher wenig beachtete Symptome Knöchelpolster-artige Hyperkeratosen an den Streckseiten von Händen und Füßen und Uhrglasnagel-artige Wölbungen der Nägel beobachtet. Die Ergebnisse der Stammbaumanalysen lassen vermuten, daß Neumutationen dieser Keratose außerordentlich selten sind. Als ein zugrundeliegendes Gen dieser Palmoplantarkeratose wurde das Keratin 9-Gen auf Chromosom 17q21 gefunden. Bisher konnten fünf verschiedene Punktmutationen im Keratin 9-Gen nachgewiesen werden, die alle in Exon 1 in der sogenannten Coil 1A-Region liegen, einer stark konservierten Genregion, die für die Dimer-Bildung der Intermediärfilamente verantwortlich ist.

    Notes: Abstract We found a novel Tru9 I restriction polymorphism in intron 8 of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene in healthy French Caucasians. It corresponds to a substitution of A for G at nucleotide +443 bp from the end of exon 8. The allelic frequency of G and A in 151 unrelated subjects was 0.894 and 0.106, respectively. This polymorphism is located in the reverse primer binding site of primers that have been frequently used in the literature to genotype a BsmI restriction polymorphism. The presence of the Tru9I A allele may result in allele drop-out when the BsmI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is genotyped with the original set of primers. This novel Tru9I polymorphism may be useful for analysis of the VDR gene.
