Carvajal syndrome
Palmoplantar Keratosis with Wool Hair and Left Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
Palmoplantar keratosis, which is very similar to Naxos syndrome. In keratosis palmoplantaris with mutations in Desmoplakin, left ventricular cardiomyopathy is to be expected, not right ventricular as in Naxos syndrome.
Extremely rare
Autosomal recessive mutation of the Desmoplakin gene. Autosomal dominant inheritances have also been published.
Wool hair (curly or curly, which exists from birth).
Palmoplantare hyperkeratosis (mostly striary). Naxos syndrome shows diffuse hyperkeratosis.
Left heart cardiomyopathy, which can lead to cardiac death.
Anamnesis.
Clinic.
Genetic examination.
Cardiological consil.
Keratolytic treatment.
Consistent refatting.
Cardiological care with e.g. implantation of a cardiac pacemaker.
