Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare genetic skin conditions that cause the skin to blister in response to minor injury, heat, or friction from rubbing or scratching. Genetic conditions are inherited. They are caused by faulty genes that run in the family. Most types of epidermolysis bullosa initially affect infants and young children. Some people with mild forms of the condition do not develop signs and symptoms until adolescence or early adulthood.

Abstract  Myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD) is caused by an abnormal function of RNA-binding proteins (RBP) resulting in DNA spliceopathy. A case of a patient, with MMD multiple basal and squamous cell carcinomas and dysplastic nevi, is described. The association between MMD and non-melanoma skin cancer has been reported before; however, this association was described before the genetic defect of myotonic dystrophy has been fully elucidated. The author proposes a genetic mechanism on how abnormal function of RBP can result or contribute to the development of human skin cancer and propose an explanation for th...

Conclusion A higher prevalence of hypertension in women with androgenetic alopecia has been found. The elevated aldosterone values in these patients may contribute, alongside other mechanisms, to the development of AGA and may also explain the higher prevalence of hypertension.

CONCLUSIONS: The majority of patients with CHE who previously achieved 'clear' or 'almost clear' hands following treatment with alitretinoin 30mg per day also responded to a second course of treatment. Retreatment was well tolerated. Intermittent treatment with alitretinoin is suitable for the long-term management of CHE. PMID: 19906075 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
