A novel nonframeshift deletion in MVK gene responsible for disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis in one Chinese family

Abstract

Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP), a genodermatosis transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait featuring disorder of keratinization, is characterized clinically by annular plaques with an atropic center and hyperkeratotic edges.^1-4 Recently, Zhang et al. ² reported MVK mutations in 33% familiar and 16% sporadic patients with DSAP by exome sequencing. Here, we report a single novel mutation of MVK, p.Cys161_Arg176del, in a Chinese family suffering from DSAP.
