Abstract
Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a dominantly inherited genetic disorder of cornification. PC stands out among other genodermatoses because despite its rarity, it has been the focus of a very large number of pioneering translational research efforts over the past 2 decades, mostly driven by a patient support organization, the Pachyonychia Congenita Project. These efforts have laid the ground for innovative strategies that may broadly impact approaches to the management of other inherited cutaneous and noncutaneous diseases. This article outlines current avenues of research in PC, expected outcomes, and potential hurdles.

A novel heterozygous frameshift mutation in the KRT6A gene responsible for an uncommon phenotype of pachyonychia congenita: One case report and review of literature. Heliyon 2024; 10:e27195.

Abstract
Pachyonychia congenita is an uncommon autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by hypertrophic nail dystrophy, palmoplantar keratoderma, oral leukokeratosis, and cutaneous cysts. And fissured tongue is rarely reported in patients with pachyonychia congenita. The disease is primarily associated with mutations in five keratin genes, namely KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT6C, KRT16 or KRT17. Herein we report a 9-year-old Chinese girl who has thickened nails, keratinized plaques, and fissured tongue since birth. To investigate the underlying genetic cause, whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed in this patient and her family members. We identified a candidate variant c.1460-2_1460del (p.S487Lfs*21) in the KRT6A gene (NM_005554.4) by whole-exome sequencing. Sanger sequencing revealed the absence of the mutation in both parents, indicating that it is a de novo variant. Thus, the novel heterozygous frameshift mutation c.1460-2_1460del (p.S487Lfs*21) within exon 9 of KRT6A was identified as the genetic cause of the patient. Our study identified a rare de novo heterozygous frameshift mutation in the KRT6A gene in a patient with pachyonychia congenita presenting fissured tongue. Our findings expand the KRT6A gene mutation spectrum of Pachyonychia congenita, and will contribute to the future genetic counseling and gene therapy for this disease.

Abstract
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are multi-domain proteins whose potent and selective actions on nerve endings have led to innovations in both basic and clinical science. The various BoNT domains are responsible for binding to gangliosides and proteins associated with nerve cell membranes, internalization into the cell, and cleavage of one or more SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins necessary for vesicle docking and fusion. Novel modifications to BoNT molecules, such as the creation of chimeras, helped identify the protein domains responsible for various aspects of BoNT action, such as localized effects. Other molecular modifications have been introduced in attempts to increase the specificity of BoNTs for autonomic or sensory neurons, with the ultimate goal of optimizing therapeutic selectivity. This research, in turn, has led to the development of BoNT-based proteins that can target non-SNARE substrates such as phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). Still others are developing different BoNT serotypes, subtypes, or variants that are longer- or shorter-acting or have faster onset for various clinical purposes. New formulations of BoNTs that provide convenience for both patients and physicians are under investigation. Novel clinical uses are being evaluated for onabotulinumtoxinA, including in the prevention of post-operative atrial fibrillation. All these innovations capitalize on the unique properties of BoNTs, which continue to intrigue scientists and clinicians across numerous fields of study.

Abstract
Genodermatoses are rare inherited skin diseases that frequently affect other organs. They often have marked effects on wellbeing and may cause early death. Progress in molecular genetics and translational research has unravelled many underlying pathological mechanisms, and in several disorders with high unmet need, has opened the way for the introduction of innovative treatments. One approach is to intervene where cell-signaling pathways are dysregulated, in the case of overactive pathways by the use of selective inhibitors, or when the activity of an essential factor is decreased by augmenting a molecular component to correct disequilibrium in the pathway. Where inflammatory reactions have been induced by a genetically altered protein, another possible approach is to suppress the inflammation directly. Depending on the nature of the genodermatosis, the implicated protein or even on the particular mutation, to correct the consequences or the genetic defect, may require a highly personalised stratagem. Repurposed drugs, can be used to bring about a "read through" strategy especially where the genetic defect induces premature termination codons. Sometimes the defective protein can be replaced by a normal functioning one. Cell therapies with allogeneic normal keratinocytes or fibroblasts may restore the integrity of diseased skin and allogeneic bone marrow or mesenchymal cells may additionally rescue other affected organs. Genetic engineering is expanding rapidly. The insertion of a normal functioning gene into cells of the recipient is since long explored. More recently, genome editing, allows reframing, insertion or deletion of exons or disruption of aberrantly functioning genes. There are now several examples where these stratagems are being explored in the (pre)clinical phase of therapeutic trial programmes. Another stratagem, designed to reduce the severity of a given disease involves the use of RNAi to attenuate expression of a harmful protein by decreasing abundance of the cognate transcript. Most of these strategies are short-lasting and will thus require intermittent life-long administration. In contrast, insertion of healthy copies of the relevant gene or editing the disease locus in the genome to correct harmful mutations in stem cells is more likely to induce a permanent cure. Here we discuss the potential advantages and drawbacks of applying these technologies in patients with these genetic conditions. Given the severity of many genodermatoses, prevention of transmission to future generations remains an important goal including offering reproductive choices, such as preimplantation genetic testing, which can allow selection of an unaffected embryo for transfer to the uterus.

Abstract
Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is a neurotoxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium with a well-known efficacy and safety profile in the focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis treatment. BoNT comprises seven different neurotoxins; however, only toxins A and B are clinically employed. BoNT is lately practiced in off-label therapies for a variety of skin diseases. Scar prevention, hyperhidrosis, rhytides, eccrine nevus, alopecia, psoriasis, Darier disease, bullous skin disease, pompholyx and Raynaud's phenomenon are some of the novel indications for BoNT in cosmetic and notably non-cosmetic aspects of dermatology. To employ BoNT correctly in clinical practice, we must have a thorough understanding of the functional anatomy of the mimetic muscles. An intensive literature search was conducted to update all dermatology-oriented experiments and clinical trials on the described element of BoNT for this general overview of BoNT use in dermatology. This review aims to analyse the role of BoNT in dermatology and cosmetology.

Abstract
Introduction Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare dermatosis that confers lifelong physical and emotional morbidities in affected patients. However, the clinical findings, treatments, and psychosocial impact of this disease have not been adequately described. The International PC Research Registry (IPCRR), a multinational initiative to collect data on PC patients, has allowed an opportunity to distinguish the salient features of this disease. We aimed to characterize the breadth and extent of nail disease, treatments, and quality of life in PC patients, and to describe any significant differences in clinical presentation or treatment of PC subtypes. Methods The most recent IPCRR patient survey data consisting of an 857-response questionnaire and a 102-response addendum were analyzed in a retrospective analysis. The survey data were collected as part of a multinational, multicenter initiative and comprise the largest representative population of PC to date. Participants (survey respondents) were included in the study based on questionnaire responses and a genetic confirmation of having a PC subtype. Results A total of 857 survey responses were collected. Genetic variations among PC subtypes influence nail disease onset and severity of symptoms. Nail disease negatively impacts patients' emotional health, especially during the adolescent and young adult years. Nail treatment tools vary little in terms of effectiveness and acquired infection rates. Conclusion and Discussion Patients with different PC subtypes have distinct clinical nail presentations and psychosocial impact. Genetic testing should be used to confirm PC diagnoses. Further characterization of PC, especially the rarer subtypes, may allow for more individualized patient education.

Abstract
Botulinum toxin is a superfamily of neurotoxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum with well-established efficacy and safety profile in focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis. Recently, botulinum toxins have also been used in many other skin diseases, in off label regimen. The objective of this manuscript is to review and analyze the main therapeutic applications of botulinum toxins in skin diseases. A systematic review of the published data was conducted, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Botulinum toxins present several label and off-label indications of interest for dermatologists. The best-reported evidence concerns focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis, Raynaud phenomenon, suppurative hidradenitis, Hailey–Hailey disease, epidermolysis bullosa simplex Weber–Cockayne type, Darier’s disease, pachyonychia congenita, aquagenic keratoderma, alopecia, psoriasis, notalgia paresthetica, facial erythema and flushing, and oily skin. Further clinical trials are still needed to better understand the real efficacy and safety of these applications and to standardize injection and doses protocols for off label applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder featuring palmoplantar keratoderma, nail dystrophy, oral leucokeratosis, pilosebaceous cysts and natal teeth. PC results from dominant mutations in one of five genes (KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT6C, KRT16, KRT17) encoding keratin proteins. AIM To delineate the clinical and genetic features of PC in a series of Israeli patients. METHODS We used direct sequencing of genomic DNA, and also used cDNA sequencing where applicable. RESULTS We collected clinical information and molecular data in a cohort of Israeli families diagnosed with PC (n = 16). Most of the patients were Ashkenazi Jews and had a family history of PC. The most common clinical findings were painful focal plantar keratoderma (94%) accompanied by nail dystrophy (81%), pilosebaceous cysts (31%) and prenatal/natal teeth (13%). In contrast to the high prevalence of KRT6A mutations in other populations, we found that KRT16 mutations were the most common type among Israeli patients with PC (56%). Most (77%) of the Israeli patients with PC with KRT16 mutation carried the same variant (c.380G>A; p.R127H) and shared the same haplotype around the KRT16 locus, suggestive of a founder effect. CONCLUSION The data gleaned from this study emphasizes the importance of population-specific tailored diagnostic strategies.

Abstract
Botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) is a powerful neurotoxin that inhibits acetylcholine release from presynaptic vesicles. The potency and safety profile of BoNTA grant the toxin vast therapeutic potential. It has been used off-label for a variety of dermatologic conditions. This review aims to analyze published literature regarding the benefits and risks of the off-label use of BoNTA beyond facial lines, including eccrine hidrocystomas, enlarged pores, keloids and hypertrophic scars, hidradenitis suppurativa, hyperhidrosis, masseter muscle hypertrophy, and salivary gland hypertrophy, among others. A MEDLINE search from January 2000 to December 2019 was conducted on the off-label uses of botulinum toxin in dermatology.
