Das Med-Tech Startup entwickelt Software für die strukturierte Befundung der Stufe 6 Molecular / cytogenetics description. X linked form: DKC1 gene on chromosome Xq28 encodes dyskerin thought to be involved in ribosomal assembly but also associated with the RNA template for telomerase ( TERC) and possibly involved in telomere maintenance. Autosomal dominant form: TERC gene (also known as DKC2) demonstrates disease anticipation.
Histopathologic features The lesions are characterized by acanthosis, prominent dyskeratosis in the surface and deep epithelium, and severe chronic inflammation in the stroma (Fig. 24.3B). The basement membrane is intact. The lesions do not have malignant potential Acantholytic dyskeratosis Suprabasal clefts contain dyskeratotic, basophilic cells with large nuclei and a paranuclear halo Called grains if present in stratum corneum and corps ronds if present in granular layer Also prominent irregular acanthosis and papillomatosi Histology of Darier disease The scanning power view of the histology of Darier disease is of an epidermal and superficial dermal inflammatory process (Figure 1). Intraepidermal separation may be visible at this power, which on closer inspection is seen as suprabasal acantholysis (Figures 2 and 3)
Dyskeratosis is the presence of premature or altered/ abnormal keratinocyte differentiation. Histologically the abnormal keratinocytes have increase/accumulation of keratin filaments leading to a hypereosinophilic cytoplasm (pinker on H&E) and shrunken hyperchromatic nuclei (ie, they are small and dark-staining) Soft, tan-black, greasy surface. Few millimeters to several centimeters in size. Can occur anywhere except palms and soles. Commonly on trunk. Leser-Trélat sign: Sudden appearance or increase in number and size of seborrheic keratoses, associated with internal malignancy. A paraneoplastic phenomenon typically associated with GI malignancy Acantholytic Dyskeratosis PAD is probably a specific entity that shares overlapping features with Darier disease and Hailey-Hailey disease, and could be caused by ATP2C1 gene mutations.

Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare disease caused by telomerase dysfunction classically characterised by the triad: skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy and mucosal leukoplakia. Few cases are described in literature regarding patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma affected by dyskeratosis congenita, and the therapeutic decisions are not yet well defined. A review of the literature of. To the Editor: Focal acantholytic dyskeratosis (FAD) is used to describe a group of diseases with diverse clinical manifestations but characteristic histological structures. In 1984, the first case of papular acantholytic dyskeratosis (PAD) of the vulvocrural area was reported in a 23-year-old female with pathological manifestations of FAD and the researchers believed that it might be a. Warty dyskeratoma (WD) is a benign endophytic cutaneous lesion, characterized by proliferation of squamous epithelium, acantholysis, and dyskeratosis (Weedon et al. 2005).Based on its regular association with pilosebaceous units, it has been suggested that WD is a true benign follicular adnexal neoplasm (Kaddu et al. 2002).WD is rare and has a predilection for the face, scalp, and neck
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a multisystem disease caused by genetic mutations that result in defective telomere maintenance.
