Congenital juvenile respiratory papillomatosis (JRRP) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the development of recurrent growth of papillomas (warts) on respiratory epithelial cells in the upper airway, particularly the larynx. Patients present in early childhood with hoarse voice and, in severe cases, respiratory stridor due to airway obstruction. Affected individuals may also have mild dermatologic abnormalities similar to those observed in AIADK. While JRRP is a genetic disorder resulting from abnormal activation of the immune system, RRP in general is usually associated with acquired HPV infection, commonly with HPV types 6 and 11 (summary by Drutman et al., 2019). [from OMIM]

Autoinflammation with arthritis and dyskeratosis (AIADK) is characterized by recurrent fever, widespread skin dyskeratosis, arthritis, elevated biologic markers of inflammation, and mild autoimmunity with a high transitional B-cell level (summary by Grandemange et al., 2016). [from OMIM]

Multiple self-healing palmoplantar carcinoma (MSPC) is characterized by recurrent keratoacanthomas in palmoplantar skin as well as in conjunctival and corneal epithelia. In addition, patients experience a high susceptibility to malignant squamous cell carcinoma (summary by Zhong et al., 2016). [from OMIM]

Generalized vitiligo is an autoimmune disease characterized by melanocyte loss, which results in patchy depigmentation of skin and hair, and is associated with an elevated risk of other autoimmune diseases. It is a genetically complex disorder involving multiple susceptibility genes and unknown environmental triggers. Patients with generalized vitiligo have elevated frequencies of other autoimmune diseases, suggesting that these diseases involve shared genetic components (summary by Jin et al., 2010). Genetic Heterogeneity of Vitiligo-Associated Multiple Autoimmune Disease Susceptibility Additional forms of vitiligo-associated multiple autoimmune disease susceptibility have been mapped to chromosomes 1p31 (VAMAS2, 607836, associated with mutation in the FOXD3 gene, 611539), 7 (VAMAS3; 608391), 8 (VAMAS4; 608392), 4 (VAMAS5; 609400), and 6p21.3 (VAMAS6; 193200). [from OMIM]
