Deafness, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, and knuckle pads with male-to-male transmission: Bart-Pumphrey syndrome. Genet. Mol. Biol. [online]. 2003, vol.26, n.2, pp. 129-131.

We report on a 22-year-old male patient and his father, both presenting with congenital sensorineural deafness, diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and knuckle pads. These findings are similar to those previously described in the Bart-Pumphrey syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Several conditions including keratoderma and deafness are briefly reviewed.

Keywords : deafness; knuckle pads; palmoplantar keratoderma; hyperkeratosis; Bart-Pumphrey syndrome.
