Abstract: Vohwinkel syndrome (VS) is a rare autosomal dominant form of palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), characterized by diffuse hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, starfish-shaped keratotic lesions, and pseudo-ainhum. Mutations in GJB2 have been implicated in VS pathogenesis. In this study, Sanger sequencing of the GJB2 coding exons and exon-intron boundaries was performed in a Chinese patient with VS. A missense mutation c.341A>G (E114G) was also identified. This finding expands the mutational spectrum of VS and provides further insight into its genetic basis, which may facilitate improved genetic screening and counseling of affected families.

Keywords: Vohwinkel syndrome, GJB2 mutation
