Title:SMARCAD1 haploinsufficiency underlies Huriez syndrome and associated skin cancer susceptibility
Creators Name:Günther, C., Lee-Kirsch, M.A., Eckhard, J., Matanovic, A., Kerscher, T., Rüschendorf, F., Klein, B., Berndt, N., Zimmermann, N., Flachmeier, C., Thuß, T., Lucas, N., Marenholz, I., Esparza-Gordillo, J., Hübner, N., Traupe, H., Delaporte, E. and Lee, Y.A.
Abstract:Huriez syndrome is a rare dominant genodermatosis characterized by congenital palmoplantar keratosis, scleroatrophic changes of the hands and feet, and an increased risk for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) in approximately 15% of affected individuals (Figure 1a, Supplementary Table S1 online). CSCC in Huriez syndrome is characterized by early onset, localization on scleroatrophic skin, and aggressive metastasis formation (Delaporte et al., 1995; Hamm et al., 1996) suggesting that the local disease-specific skin changes promote malignant transformation.
