Here, we report three novel heterozygous mutations in the K17 gene (KRT17A) in patients presenting with pachyonychia congenita type 2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thick, yellowish, hyperkeratotic plaques were present over the pressure points of the soles (Fig. 2). Palms also showed thick, hyperkeratotic papules. [edoj.org.eg]

Treatment Self treatment : Most simple boils can be treated at home. Ideally, the treatment should begin as soon as a boil is noticed. Early treatment may prevent later complications. [ehardts.com]

Treatment with topical keratolytic agents or retinoids may offer temporary relief, while oral retinoids are prescribed for more severe cases. Nail involvement requires treatment with emollients, grinding of the nail plate and occasionally ablation. [analesdepediatria.org]

Etiology Although historically two subtypes have been described, PC-1 and PC2, it is today recommended to classify PC patients into four subgroups based the underlying molecular etiology: PC-K6a, PC-K6b, PC-K16 and PC-K17, as PC is caused by dominant [orpha.net]

Etiology Genetic: Keratins 6a, 6b, 16, and 17. Keratin 6c may produce an attenuated phenotype known as hereditary painful callosities. Pathogenic mutation in one of the above keratins compromises appropriate filament formation. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Prevention General : Because pachyonychia congenita (PC) is an inherited condition, there is currently no known way to prevent the disease. However, a number of options are available for prospective parents with a family history of PC. [nutritionhouse.com]
