DSG1 Gene Keratosis Palmoplantaris Striata Type 1 NGS Genetic Test

Keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 is a rare genetic skin disorder that is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. This disorder is caused by mutations in the DSG1 gene that provides instructions for making a protein called desmoglein-1. Desmoglein-1 is an important component of the skin that helps to hold skin cells together.

Individuals with this disorder have thick, scaly, and dry skin on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. The skin may also be thickened on the sides of the fingers and toes. The symptoms typically appear during childhood or adolescence and may worsen over time. In some cases, the skin may crack and bleed, leading to pain and discomfort.

Diagnosis of keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 is typically based on physical examination, family history, and genetic testing. Genetic testing involves analyzing the DNA of an individual to identify mutations in the DSG1 gene. This can be done using a technique called next-generation sequencing (NGS).
