Epidermolytic Palmoplantar Keratoderma

Subscribe to New Research on Epidermolytic Palmoplantar Keratoderma

An autosomal dominant hereditary skin disease characterized by epidermolytic hyperkeratosis that is strictly confined to the palms and soles. It has been associated with mutations in the gene that codes for KERATIN-9.
