A number sign (#) is used with this entry because pachyonychia congenita-4 (PC4) is caused by heterozygous mutation in the KRT6B gene (148042) on chromosome 12q13. Description Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with the main clinical features of hypertrophic nail dystrophy, painful and highly debilitating plantar keratoderma, oral leukokeratosis, and a variety of epidermal cysts. Although the condition had previously been subdivided clinically into Jadassohn-Lewandowsky PC type 1 and Jackson-Lawler PC type 2, patients with PC were later found to have a mixed constellation of both types, leading to a classification of PC based on genotype (summary by Sybert, 2010; Eliason et al., 2012; McLean et al., 2011). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pachyonychia congenita, see 167200. Historical Classification of Pachyonychia Congenita Gorlin et al. (1976) suggested that 2 distinct syndromes are subsumed under the designation pachyonychia congenita.
Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare genodermatosis predominantly featuring painful palmoplantar keratoderma, thickened nails, cysts and whitish oral mucosa. Epidemiology The prevalence is not known but approximately 1000 patients have been registered to date worldwide. Clinical description PC presents clinically as a spectrum of conditions. PC onset is variable with most cases manifesting soon after birth, others becoming clinically apparent only in late childhood and rarely in adulthood. The first signs of the disease usually are thickened nails or neonatal teeth.
Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare inherited condition that primarily affects the nails and skin. The fingernails and toenails may be thickened and abnormally shaped . Affected people can also develop painful calluses and blisters on the soles of their feet and less frequently on the palms of their hands ( palmoplantar keratoderma ). Additional features include white patches on the tongue and inside of the mouth (leukokeratosis); bumps around the elbows, knees, and waistline (follicular hyperkeratosis); and cysts of various types including steatocystoma. Features may vary among affected people depending on their specific mutation.
For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pachyonychia congenita, see 167200. Inheritance Chong-Hai and Rajagopalan (1977) suggested autosomal recessive inheritance of pachyonychia congenita in a 4-year-old Malaysian girl with first-cousin parents, although they recognized new dominant mutation as a possibility.

Hereditary amyloidosis refers to a group of inherited conditions that make up one of the subtypes of amyloidosis . Hereditary amyloidosis is characterized by the deposit of an abnormal protein called amyloid in multiple organs of the body where it should not be, which causes disruption of organ tissue structure and function. In hereditary amyloidosis, amyloid deposits most often occur in tissues of the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. While symptoms of hereditary amyloidosis may appear in childhood, most individuals do not experience symptoms until adulthood. There are many types of hereditary amyloidosis associated with different gene mutations and abnormal proteins.

The recommendations are: For children in age less than one year: 30 minute physical activity, 0 hours screen time and 14 – 17 hours of sleep time per day. For children in age 1 year: 180 minutes physical activity, 0 hours screen time, 11–14 hours of sleep time per day. ... In Android a similar feature called "digital wellbeing" has been implemented to keep track of cell phone usage. [85] These apps usually work by doing one of two things: increasing awareness by sending user usage summaries, or notifying the user when he/she has exceeded some user-defined time-limit for each app or app category. ... The researchers implement an Android app that combined these three intervention types and found that users reduced their time with the apps they feel are a poor use of time by 21% while their use of the apps they feel are a good use of time remained unchanged. [86] AppDetox allows users to define rules that limit their usage of specific apps. [87] PreventDark detects and prevents problematic usage of smartphones in the dark. [88] Using vibrations instead of notifications to limit app usage has also been found to be effective. [89] Further, researchers have found group-based interventions that rely on users sharing their limiting behaviors with others to be effective.

This loss of brain volume affects ones ability to live and function properly, ultimately being fatal. [5] Beta-amyloid is a small piece of a larger protein called the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Once APP is activated, it is cut into smaller sections of other proteins. ... Alpha-secretase cleavage of APP, which precludes the production of Aβ, is the most common processing event for APP. 21 allelic mutations have been discovered in the APP gene. These guarantee onset of early-onset familial Alzheimer disease and all occur in the region of the APP gene that encodes the Aβ domain. ...

Cutaneous amyloidosis refers to a variety of skin diseases characterized histologically by the extracellular accumulation of amyloid deposits in the dermis. Rare forms include lichen amyloidosus, X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder, primary localized cutaneous nodular amyloidosis, and macular amyloidosis (see these terms).
Lichen amyloidosis is a rare chronic form of cutaneous amyloidosis (see this term), a skin disease characterized by the accumulation of amyloid deposits in the dermis, clinically characterized by the development of pruritic, often pigmented, hyperkeratotic papules on trunk and extremities, especially on the shins, and histologically by the deposition of amyloid or amyloid-like proteins in the papillary dermis.
Primary cutaneous amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis , a group of conditions in which an abnormal protein (called amyloid) builds up in various organs and tissues throughout the body. In primary cutaneous amyloidosis, specifically, this protein accumulates in the skin. There are three main forms of primary cutaneous amyloidosis: Lichen amyloidosis - multiple itchy, raised spots which are scaly and red/brown in color. This rash generally affects the shins, thighs, feet and forearms. Macular amyloidosis - mild to severely itchy, flat, dusky-brown or greyish colored spots that may come together to form patches of darkened skin. This rash generally appears on the upper back between the shoulder blades, the chest and less commonly, the arms.

Clinical Features Lisch et al. (1992) described 5 family members and 3 unrelated patients (4 males, 4 females), aged 23 to 71 years, with bilateral or unilateral, gray, band-shaped, and feathery opacities that sometimes appeared in whorled patterns. Retroillumination showed that the opacities consisted of intraepithelial, densely crowded, clear microcysts. Light and electron microscopy disclosed diffuse vacuolization of the cytoplasm of epithelial cells in the affected area. Visual acuity was so reduced in 3 patients that abrasion of the corneal epithelium was performed. The corneal abnormalities recurred within months, with the same reduction in visual acuity as before.
Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy (LECD) is a very rare form of superficial corneal dystrophy characterized by feather-shaped opacities and microcysts in the corneal epithelium arranged in a band-shaped and sometimes whorled pattern, occasionally with impaired vision. Epidemiology Exact prevalence of this form of corneal dystrophy is not known but very few cases have been reported to date. LECD has been documented in one German family and in rare sporadic cases in Germany and the USA. Clinical description Lesions generally develop in childhood. Epithelial opacities are slowly progressive and painless blurred vision sometimes occurs after 60 years of age. Etiology The exact cause is unknown but appears to be genetic. The gene related to Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy has been mapped to the short arm of the X chromosome (Xp22.3).
Characteristics [ edit ] Botellón usually begins around 11:00 p.m. and ends around 3:00 a.m. when many people move to a bar or club. ... Since botellón is usually a nighttime activity, Spain passed a law that prohibits stores to sell alcohol to the public after 10:00 p.m, hoping to persuade people to attend clubs or bars where alcohol must remain on site. [ citation needed ] However, the measure is a controversial one because people can still buy alcohol before the selling limit hour and consume it in public. ... One example of a macro-botellón was on 17 March 2006, "Half of Spain [met] on the net to organize a macro-botellón". [13] The macro-botellón was organized in cities around Spain, such as Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Oviedo, Murcia, Vitoria, Málaga, Córdoba, Granada, and Jaén. [14] One of the purposes of the macro-botellón on 17 March 2006, near the Faro de Moncloa in Madrid, Spain, was to protest against the municipal restrictions on drinking alcohol in the streets. ...

A rare photodermatosis characterized by the development of pruritic or painful vesicles in a photodistributed pattern in response to sunlight exposure. The lesions heal with permanent varioliform scarring. Ocular involvement, deformities of ears and nose, or contractures of the fingers may occasionally be observed. Systemic signs and symptoms are absent. The condition typically occurs in childhood and regresses spontaneously in adolescence or young adulthood.
In Dogger Bank itch, sensitivity is acquired after repeated handling of the sea chervils that become entangled in fishing nets. [ citation needed ] The specific toxin responsible for the rash was determined to be the sulfur -bearing salt (2-hydroxyethyl) dimethylsulfoxonium chloride.

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) can be caused by mutation in the gene encoding the amyloid precursor protein (APP; 104760). Mutations in the APP gene can also cause autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease-1 (AD1; 104300), which shows overlapping clinical and neuropathologic features. ... Revesz et al. (2003) reviewed the pathology and genetics of APP-related CAA and discussed the different neuropathologic consequences of different APP mutations. ... In 4 affected members of an Italian family with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, Obici et al. (2005) identified a mutation in the APP gene (104760.0019). In 2 brothers from an extensive Iowa kindred with progressive dementia and cerebroarterial amyloidosis, Grabowski et al. (2001) identified a heterozygous mutation in the APP gene (N694D; 104760.0016). ... Human APP mRNA was detected in neurons and neuronal processes, but not in vessel walls. ... Herzig et al. (2006) extended their earlier studies by developing several murine models of APP-related CAA and APP-related parenchymal amyloid deposition.
Etiology HCHWA-D is due to a mutation in the APP gene on chromosome 21q21.2, encoding the beta-amyloid precursor protein. ... Genetic testing reveals a mutation in the APP gene. Differential diagnosis Differential diagnoses include other conditions that could cause intracerebral hemorrhage such as coagulopathies, vasculitis (see these terms), CNS neoplasms, cerebral vascular malformations, ischemic stroke and antecedent trauma.
The Dutch type is the most common, with over 200 affected individuals reported in the scientific literature. Causes Mutations in the APP gene are the most common cause of hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy. APP gene mutations cause the Dutch, Italian, Arctic, Iowa, Flemish, and Piedmont types of this condition. ... Familial British and Danish dementia are caused by mutations in the ITM2B gene. The APP gene provides instructions for making a protein called amyloid precursor protein. ... Additionally, the ITM2B protein may be involved in processing the amyloid precursor protein. Mutations in the APP , CST3 , or ITM2B gene lead to the production of proteins that are less stable than normal and that tend to cluster together (aggregate). ... Learn more about the genes associated with Hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy APP CST3 ITM2B Inheritance Pattern Hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy caused by mutations in the APP , CST3 , or ITM2B gene is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern , which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.
