Incidence of Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome in a Kashmiri Population
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Research & Development (IJDRD) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder with a rare occurrence. The characteristic features of this rare syndrome are palmarplantar hyperkeratosis and early onset of a severe destructive periodontitis. There is a diverse etiopathology associated with the syndrome; but a recent report has shown the syndrome is due to mutations of the cathepsin C gene. A detailed analysis was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of this rare disorder in a kashmiri population using clinical, laboratory and radiographic investigations.
