Disease relevance of Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus

 

High impact information on Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus

  • It was also highly specific (93.7%) in discriminating between lichen sclerosus and other disease/control sera [6].
  • These data, however, implicate p53 mutations as a later event in vulvar carcinoma and in marked contrast to the original expectation, our loss of heterozygosity data are consistent with loss of another locus (not p53) on 17p operating as a tumor suppressor in lichen sclerosus destined to develop vulvar carcinoma [7].
  • In addition we show that the protein and mRNA expression of CD44 in the epidermis of the involved lichen sclerosus et atrophicus skin from genital and extragenital areas is significantly decreased, and in some cases completely lost [8].
  • A complete disappearance of orcein positive material was observed in the superficial dermis of patients suffering from Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus [9].
  • Benign squamous epithelia were p16 negative, with the exception of lichen sclerosus, which contained focal and heterogeneously p16 positive in 42% [10].

Gene context of Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus

  • Thus, IL-1RN may be a candidate gene or severity factor for lichen sclerosus or may possibly be a linked marker to another, as yet undefined, gene [20].
  • CONCLUSION: Our results suggest a lack of complaints in AR-positive lichen sclerosus patients [21].
  • Focal midepithelial staining with PCNA and Ki-67 was seen in one case of lichen sclerosus; a vulvar biopsy of this patient 1 year later was negative for VIN [22].
  • RESULTS: Weak TGF-beta 1 staining was demonstrated in the epidermis of all the lichen sclerosus, morphea, thigh and five of the eight normal vulvar specimens [23].
  • An immunohistochemical approach was used to characterize the inflammatory infiltrate in vulval lichen sclerosus, using monoclonal antibodies to CD3, CD4, CD8, CD68 and HLA-DR [24].
