Diseases categorized as autoinflammatory keratinization diseases (AiKDs), and their pathologies and treatments.
Nagoya Journal of Medical Science 2024 Februrary
Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing have become widespread in approximately the last 15 years, and the predisposing factors and pathomechanisms of inflammatory keratinization diseases, which have been unknown for a long time, have gradually been revealed. Hence, various inflammatory keratinization diseases are recognized to cause innate immunity hyperactivation. Therefore, we have been advocating for the clinical entity, "autoinflammatory keratinization diseases (AiKDs)" since 2017. AiKDs are inflammatory keratinization diseases caused by autoinflammatory-related pathomechanisms in the skin. The aberrant activation of innate immunity and the resultant autoinflammation in the epidermis and the superficial dermis in AiKDs cause hyperkeratosis in the epidermis. Our initially proposed concept of AiKDs included generalized pustular psoriasis and related conditions, pityriasis rubra pilaris type V, and familial keratosis lichenoides chronica. Since then, the number of diseases known to be AiKDs has increased as previously unknown disease-causing factors and pathogenetic mechanisms of inflammatory keratinization diseases have been clarified one by one. To date, porokeratosis, hidradenitis suppurative, keratosis linearis with ichthyosis congenita and sclerosing keratoderma (KLICK) syndrome, and AiKDs associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) deficiency or with hepatitis and autism have been recognized as AiKDs. The concept of AiKDs is considered extremely useful in our precise understanding of the pathogeneses behind inflammatory keratinization diseases and our appropriate treatment method selection. The number of AiKDs is expected to grow with the clarification of the pathomechanisms of further inflammatory keratinization diseases.
