CEREJEIRA, Diogo et al. Recurrent acral ulcerations associated with DNA methyltransferase 1-complex disorder. Port J Dermatol Venereol. [online]. 2022, vol.80, n.1, pp.71-74. Epub 16-Maio-2022. ISSN 2795-501X. https://doi.org/10.24875/pjd.m22000014.
DNA methyltransferase 1, encoded by DNMT gene, is a crucial DNA methyltransferase with essential roles in transcription regulation, gene imprinting, and cell differentiation. Dysfunction of this group of enzymes can lead to a variety of neurologically predominant clinical symptoms, including a stereotypic triad of sensory predominant neuropathy, sensorineural hearing loss, and cognitive decline. Herein, we report the case of a Portuguese patient who presented with recurrent acral ulcerations due to hypoalgesia and hypoesthesia, secondary to a novel heterozygous mutation [c.1718T>G (p.Val573Gly)] in DNA methyltransferase 1 gene.
