Popis: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering skin disease where desmogleins (Dsgs), desmosomal cadherin-type cell adhesion molecules, are major autoantigens [1]. Desmocollins (Dscs) are another group of desmosomal cadherins [2]. Dsc1 was previously reported to be an autoantigen in subcorneal pustular dermatosis-type IgA pemphigus [3]. In addition, anti-Dsc antibodies also exist in patients with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) or atypical pemphigus [4, 5]. We report here a patient with mucosal [...]
