No indications for HPV involvement in the hypertrophic skin lesions of a Darier disease case without ATP2A2 gene mutations

Darier disease (DD) is a relatively common genodermatosis characterized by impaired differentiation and abnormal cell-to-cell adhesion. Haploinsufficiency of the ATP2A2 gene product, sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2), is the underlying cause of most cases. Although DD may have a papillomatous appearance, few and controversial results have been reported about the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in this disease. The aim of this study was to determine a possible correlation between development of hypertrophic lesions in DD and infection by HPV. We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with a hypertrophic DD variant that has been successfully treated with oral retinoids. HPV analysis for a broad spectrum of cutaneous and mucocutaneous genotypes was performed on surgical specimens obtained from the cutaneous lesions and snap-frozen plucked eyebrows. Genetic analysis of the ATP2A2 gene did not detect any mutations. Epidermal expression of SERCA2b was shown by immunohistochemistry. We describe a patient with DD lacking mutations of the ATP2A2 gene, but with reduced SERCA2b expression in the epidermal keratinocytes. The results obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping, quantitative real-time PCR, and in situ hybridization indicate that HPV replication was very low and suggest no direct role of the virus in the development of the disease.
