Vohwinkel syndrome with ichthyosis

A variant form of Vohwinkel syndrome without hearing loss and associated with ichthyosiform dermatosis. Clinical features include palmoplantar keratoderma, pseudoainhum and ichthyosis. Compact hyperkeratosis with round retained nuclei and hypergranulosis is observed on skin biopsies.

Structural component of gap junctions (By similarity). Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane (By similarity). Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore (By similarity)

Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 2

A form of erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva, a genodermatosis characterized by the coexistence of two independent skin lesions: transient erythema and hyperkeratosis that is usually localized but occasionally occurs in its generalized form. Clinical presentation varies significantly within a family and from one family to another. Palmoplantar keratoderma is present in around 50% of cases.

Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 5

A form of erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva, a genodermatosis characterized by the coexistence of two independent skin lesions: transient erythema and hyperkeratosis that is usually localized but occasionally occurs in its generalized form. Clinical presentation varies significantly within a family and from one family to another. Palmoplantar keratoderma is present in around 50% of cases. EKVP5 inheritance is autosomal recessive.

One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell

A form of erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva, a genodermatosis characterized by the coexistence of two independent skin lesions: transient erythema and hyperkeratosis that is usually localized but occasionally occurs in its generalized form. Clinical presentation varies significantly within a family and from one family to another. Palmoplantar keratoderma is present in around 50% of cases.

Structural component of the gap junction, a specialized intercellular structure consisting of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, that allow passage of small molecules and electrical signals between neighboring cells (By similarity). Forms homotypic and heterotypic channels gated by transjunctional voltage (By similarity). May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph (Probabl

Oculodentodigital dysplasia

A disease characterized by a typical facial appearance and variable involvement of the eyes, dentition, and fingers. Characteristic facial features include a narrow, pinched nose with hypoplastic alae nasi, prominent columella and thin anteverted nares together with a narrow nasal bridge, and prominent epicanthic folds giving the impression of hypertelorism. The teeth are usually small and carious. Typical eye findings include microphthalmia and microcornea. The characteristic digital malformation is complete syndactyly of the fourth and fifth fingers (syndactyly type III) but the third finger may be involved and associated camptodactyly is a common finding. Cardiac abnormalities are observed in rare instances.

Calcium-activated selective cation channel that mediates membrane depolarization (PubMed:12015988, PubMed:12842017, PubMed:29211723, PubMed:30528822). While it is activated by increase in intracellular Ca(2+), it is impermeable to it (PubMed:12015988). Mediates transport of monovalent cations (Na(+) > K(+) > Cs(+) > Li(+)), leading to depolarize the membrane (PubMed:12015988). It thereby plays a central role in cadiomyocytes, neurons from entorhinal cortex, dorsal root and vomeronasal neurons, e

Progressive familial heart block 1B

A cardiac bundle branch disorder characterized by progressive alteration of cardiac conduction through the His-Purkinje system, with a pattern of a right bundle-branch block and/or left anterior hemiblock occurring individually or together. It leads to complete atrio-ventricular block causing syncope and sudden death.

Component of intercellular desmosome junctions (By similarity). Plays a role in stratified epithelial integrity and cell-cell adhesion by promoting desmosome assembly (By similarity). Thereby plays a role in barrier function of the skin against infection (By similarity). Plays a role in mammary epithelial tissue homeostasis and remodeling during and after pregnancy, potentially via its involvement in desmosome cell-cell junctions (By similarity). Required for tooth enamel development via facilit

Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 7

A form of erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva, a genodermatosis characterized by the coexistence of two independent skin lesions: transient erythema and hyperkeratosis that is usually localized but occasionally occurs in its generalized form. Clinical presentation varies significantly within a family and from one family to another. Palmoplantar keratoderma is present in around 50% of cases. EKVP7 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma that extends to the dorsal surface of the hands and feet, as well as erythematous annular skin lesions. Pruritus, woolly hair, and dystrophic nails may also be present.
