Expanding the Genotype of Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome: A New Case Due to Two Novel Mutations.

چکیده
However, some of these patients develop SCARs related to sorafenib, such as Drug Reaction with Eosynophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), SJS or AGEP.5,6,8,9 To our knowledge, only 2 more cases of sorafenib-induced acute exanthematous pustulosis have been published, being one of them an acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) and the other one a complete AGEP.5,6 The main features of these cases are presented in Table 1. Interestingly, all the three cases occurred in women who were under treatment with sorafenib due to unresectable hepatocarcinoma. Cases of AGEP have also been reported associated with other multikinase inhibitors such as imatinib.10 Therefore; we believe that the association between kinase-inhibitors and AGEP might be an under-reported entity with an increasing incidence due to the appearance of new drugs of this nature. In conclusion, we report a new case of sorafenib-induced AGEP. We should be aware of this cutaneous side effect of sorafenib and other multikinase inhibitors, given that drug discontinuation is the key point on AGEP treatment.

Identification of a novel deletion within ALDH3A2 gene in an Iranian Family with Sjögren–Larsson Syndrome
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare type of congenital ichthyosis with neurological problems and intellectual disability. Homozygous mutations in ALDH3A2 gene are known to be responsible for this syndrome. Here, we report an Iranian family with congenital SLS bearing a novel two-base-pair deletion within ALDH3A2 genomic sequence. Our finding expands the mutation spectrum of ALDH3A2 that is...

Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is an inherited neurocutaneous disorder characterized by ichthyosis, intellectual disability, and spastic diplegia or tetraplegia. Patients have deficient activity of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase due to mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene, which results in altered lipid composition of their tissues. In this article, the author discusses new information about the biochemical p...

Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disease caused by mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene for fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase, a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of medium- and long-chain aliphatic aldehydes fatty acids. We studied three Turkish Sjögren-Larsson syndrome patients with ichthyosis, developmental delay, spastic diplegia, and brain white matter dis...
