Description: (OMIM) Recurrent eruption of vesicles and bullae involving predominantly the neck, groin, and axillary regions is characteristic of this disorder. Histologic examination shows numerous acantholytic cells and the suprabasal type of blister formation strikingly resembling that in pemphigus vulgaris ...
Clinical Description OMIM Loewenthal (1959) thought that pyogenic bacteria act as a precipitating factor. This possibility is supported by the beneficial effects of antibiotics, use of which has converted this condition into a relatively insignificant disorder. In 4 cases of 1 ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 21 kindreds with HHD, Hu et al. (2000) identified mutations in the ATP2C1 gene (e.g., 604384.0001-604384.0003), which encodes the human homolog of an ATP-powered pump that sequesters calcium into the Golgi in yeast. Regulation of cytoplasmic calcium ...
