Ulerythema ophryogenes and Noonan syndrome. 2013

Jacqueline A Guidry, and Adam Rees, and Audrey J Chan, and Fareesa Shuja, and Sylvia Hsu

We describe a patient with Noonan syndrome (NS) presenting with ulerythema ophrygenes (UO)--an association initially suggested in a single case series of five patients by Pierini and Pierini in 1979. Recognition of the association of UO with NS by pediatric dermatologists is important because of the high incidence of cardiovascular anomalies in NS. Therefore, in infants and children presenting with UO, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for NS and refer for further workup.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007644 Darier Disease An autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder characterized by warty malodorous papules that coalesce into plaques. It is caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding SERCA2 protein, one of the SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES. The condition is similar, clinically and histologically, to BENIGN FAMILIAL PEMPHIGUS, another autosomal dominant skin disorder. Both diseases have defective calcium pumps (CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES) and unstable desmosomal adhesion junctions (DESMOSOMES) between KERATINOCYTES.

D009634 Noonan Syndrome A genetically heterogeneous, multifaceted disorder characterized by short stature, webbed neck, ptosis, skeletal malformations, hypertelorism, hormonal imbalance, CRYPTORCHIDISM, multiple cardiac abnormalities (most commonly including PULMONARY VALVE STENOSIS), and some degree of INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. The phenotype bears similarities to that of TURNER SYNDROME that occurs only in females and has its basis in a 45, X karyotype abnormality. Noonan syndrome occurs in both males and females with a normal karyotype (46,XX and 46,XY). Mutations in a several genes (PTPN11, KRAS, SOS1, NF1 and RAF1) have been associated the NS phenotype. Mutations in PTPN11 are the most common. LEOPARD SYNDROME, a disorder that has clinical features overlapping those of Noonan Syndrome, is also due to mutations in PTPN11. In addition, there is overlap with the syndrome called neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome due to mutations in NF1.
