PASH syndrome a disease with genetic heterogeneity

PASH syndrome is a clinical entity associating pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), severe acne and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)¹. Absence of pyogenic sterile arthritis (PA) distinguishes PASH syndrome from PAPASH and PAPA syndromes which associate PA in combination with PG, severe acne with or without HS, respectively^2,3. Mutations in PSTPIP1 (proline-serine-threonine-phosphatase interacting protein 1) gene were identified in patients with PAPA and PAPASH syndromes, although genetic heterogeneity was observed in PAPA syndrome^2,3. Loss-of-function mutations in the y-secretase genes, Nicastrin (NCSTN), Presenilin Enhancer-2 (PSENEN), and Presenilin-1 (PSEN1), have been reported in a small proportion of HS patients^4,5.
