Case Report - Darier's disease following radiotherapy for carcinoma of cervix
Darier-White disease is due to a defect in the ATP2A2 gene encoding the
sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2b). We report a
case of carcinoma cervix in whom Darier\u2032s disease manifested
after the initiation of radiation therapy. Conventional cytogenetics on
peripheral blood revealed non-clonal constitutional autosomal and X
chromosome abnormalities suggesting radiation induced gene toxicity.
Occurrence of Darier\u2032s disease in our case could be due to
treatment induced sustained differentiation in the Darier\u2032s
affected skin by an unknown mechanism. Late onset or sporadic
Darier\u2032s disease is the other possibility
