Clericuzio-type poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN) is characterized by poikiloderma, usually noncyclic, permanent (Aglaguel A et al 2017) neutropenia, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, pachyonychia, and palmo-plantar hyperkeratosis. The syndrome was first described in Navajo Indians by Clericuzio in 1991.

Etiopathogenesis

Clericuzio syndrome, a genodermatosis is associated with mutations in the C16orf57 gene located on chromosome 16q13. Furthermore, a biallelic mutation in the USB1 gene / U Six Biogenesis 1 has been described for this syndrome (Aglaguel A et al. 2017).

Manifestation

Clinically, the syndrome is characterized by poikiloderma, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, pachyonychia of the toenails, and recurrent upper respiratory tract infections (Sakka R et al. 2018). The poikilodermic skin lesions started on the face in one patient and gradually spread to the extremities and trunk.
