PPKS2 is characterized by linear hyperkeratosis of the palms, which is particularly evident in affected individuals who perform manual labor. Hyperkeratosis of the soles primarily involves pressure points, and diffuse background palmoplantar thickening may also be present. (Armstrong et al., 1999; Whittock et al., 1999).
For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of the striate form of palmoplantar keratoderma, see PPKS1 (148700). [from
